Human behavioral scientist and atmospheric ion expert Guy Cramer says Yes . According to Mr. Cramer, the swaying of public opinion toward Presidential candidates Gore and Bush, as shown in the Gallup tracking polls, correlates remarkably to the changing ratios of positive and negative ions in the atmosphere, which are directly associated with the effects of the Full Moon. Mr. Cramer has been studying the geophysics of ionization since 1985. The scientific community recognizes the following effects of ions on human behavior.
Negative ions are beneficial, and can improve alertness, concentration and general body function.
These findings are based on research with air ions from groups and organizations such as Oxford University, RCA Laboratories, U.S. Air Force, Mercedes Benz, the Swiss Bank just to name a few of the 5000 plus studies. On days of high negative ion activity, the voting public tended to lean more toward Bush. According to Cramer, These would be days when people were calmer and thinking clearly, and less likely to tolerate past inadequacies of an incumbent party, in this case the Democrats. On days of high positive activity, when people would be stress-inclined and feeling out of sorts, they were supportive of Gore, being less analytical and thus taking a more lenient attitude toward the mistakes of the Clinton administration.
