| Description | The 2004 election was the first occurring after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the U.S. Following that event, a rally-around-the-flag effect boosted President George W. Bush's approval ratings to record-setting highs, above 90 percent. In response to the attacks, he declared a war on terror, and in October 2001, he began military action against Afghanistan, which provided refuge for Al Qaeda, the Islamic terrorist group responsible for 9/11. The 2002 congressional elections reflected the power of the terrorism issue, as the GOP picked up seats, a rare gain for a president's party during midterms. The war on terror exerted influence on the 2004 presidential race as well. Book Name: The Routledge Historical Atlas of Presidential Elections |
