How would a terrorist attack affect the election?

I keep hearing how a terrorist attack on U.S. soil would affect the election, but in which direction? Would Bush once more get strong U.S. support, as after 9/11, or would the attack be seen as a result of an ineffective administration, making him lose support?

After Spain was attacked in March, the opposition won. Now, this may be incorrect, but I read that the opposition would have won regardless of a terror attack, so perhaps using Spain as an example of what could happen here would not apply.
