Ten years later, the 9/11 attacks remain deeply present in the minds of Americans. The first report (pdf) from a partnership between the Associated Press and the University-based National Opinion Research Center compares the opinions of 1,087 adults polled this past summer with surveys from 2002–06. The initial shock has worn away, but more Americans now say 9/11 has affected their lives. While fewer people report feeling scared, more are willing to use torture to fight terrorism, and more say they’ve lost some “personal freedoms.”
