After 9/11, surveys show a sharp, temporary rise in presidential approval and national unity. Which event-driven attitude shift is shown?
A
A long‑term partisan realignment triggered by the New Deal, creating durable Democratic dominance and permanently liberalizing most voters across all cohorts.
B
A generational replacement effect where older voters die and younger voters enter, slowly changing ideology without any immediate event-driven opinion shift.
C
A rally-'round-the-flag effect, where national crisis briefly increases trust and support for leaders before opinions gradually return toward prior levels.
D
A backlash to Watergate, in which scandal produces sustained decreases in trust and a long‑term liberal shift toward stronger government regulation.
E
A purely economic voting model claiming terrorist attacks cannot affect ideology, because only inflation and unemployment ever move public opinion.
