Journal Frisky070802's Journal: terror alerts 1

Journal by Frisky070802
The Electoral vote predictor website, which tracks current US Presidential polls, has an interesting pointer today to JuliusBlog's item on Bush Ratings vs. Terror Alerts. The hypothesis is that when the president's approval rating dips, the government issues a new terror alert and the rating goes back up for a while. This starts approaching the question of what happens when everyone has perfect information: no one could have done this sort of analysis a few years ago. What other statistics are lurking out there? And does Howard Dean know about this?

    Fine, actually - I've heard this before, but quite interesting that there is actually some data to go with this. Strange world we live in.
