US poll: Terrorism not top concern
[Iran Press] A new survey shows that only one percent of Americans view terrorism as the most important problem the US is facing, nine years after the 9/11 incidents.The Gallup opinion poll released on its website on Friday indicated that 46 percent of Americans thought of terrorism as the most important problem in their country right after the 9/11 attacks. Meanwhile, the survey mentioned that four days before the September 11 attacks, less than one in 200 people in the US named terrorism as a top problem. The poll suggests that other issues, including the war in Iraq, economy and jobs are on the minds of most Americans these days. "Over the past nine years, Americans have most commonly mentioned the war in Iraq (from 2003 to early 2008) and the economy or jobs (from 2008 to the present) as the top problem facing the country," noted the survey, conducted in late August. However, the poll's respondents said terrorism is still an important issue for them when they are reminded of it. Posted by: Fred 2010-09-12 |
