Bush's numbers did NOT rise after the foiled airplane plot in the UK.
They STAYED in the low 30's. In fact the pundits (who are always
right, doncha know) were surprised when his numbers didn't go up.
His numbers didn't go up significantly again until the crockudrama
(and, it appears, as others have pointed out - lower gasoline prices.)

YMMV...
