The following is from Gallup News.

According to Gallup News, 64% of US adults say Americans have permanently changed the way they live as a result of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The finding, measured as the nation approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11, ties Gallup’s record high from the 20th anniversary in 2021.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) held that view on the 10th anniversary, while 53% said the same on the fifth anniversary. On the night of the attacks, 49% predicted Americans would permanently change the way they live.

Far fewer Americans say their own lives have permanently changed because of 9/11. Twenty-eight percent (28%) say they personally changed the way they live, matching the findings from the 10th and 20th anniversaries.

Concerns about terrorism have declined from the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say they are very or somewhat worried about becoming a victim of terrorism. On Sept. 11, 2001, 58% said they were worried.

Meanwhile, 55% of US adults say they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the US government to protect citizens from future acts of terrorism, tying the lowest level Gallup has measured. That compares with 88% in the days following 9/11 and 75% in 2011.

Confidence differs sharply by political affiliation. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Republicans say they are confident in the government’s ability to protect Americans from terrorism, compared with 59% of independents and 29% of Democrats.

The findings are from Gallup’s Aug. 3-24 poll, conducted in the weeks leading up to the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
