Terror, Terrain, and Turnout: Explaining the 2002 Midterm Elections
Gary C. Jacobson argues that the results of the 2002 congressional election were
consistent with past midterm elections as referenda on the administration and the
economy, although the terrorist attacks of September 11 profoundly affected the referendum's
substance. The modest Republican victory was a consequence of the post-
September 11 rally in support for President George W. Bush, redistricting (in the
House), and higher turnout among Republican loyalists. There was no evidence of
any national shift in public sentiment toward the Republican party.
