CBS News/New York Times Poll For release: Thursday September 8, 2011 6:30 PM EDT Ten Years after

the 9/11 Attacks: A Changed Country, an Emotional Toll August, 2011 This CBS News/New York Times Poll explores the impact and aftermath of the September 11th attacks ten years ago, and includes interviews with Americans overall, residents of New York City, and those who report a close friend or family member was killed in the attacks on 9/11. More than 4 in 5 say the country has changed as a result of the attacks. Most commonly, Americans think people have become more cautious and fearful. The 9/11 attacks are still on the minds of many Americans and New Yorkers. 27% of the public thinks about it at least every week, as do 31% of New Yorkers. Among close friends and family members of those killed that day, a majority says their lives returned mostly to normal within five years, but just three in ten have completely recovered emotionally from the attacks; 57% say they have recovered partially. One in four Americans think the first responders who worked at the World Trade Center immediately after the attacks have not been treated fairly since the attacks; that rises to 58% among New Yorkers. While most New Yorkers dont see a lot of progress at the Ground Zero site, three in four approve of what they have seen of the memorial there.

A Changed Country 82% of Americans say the country has changed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This view is broadly held by men, women, Democrats, Republicans, and other groups. Has America Changed Since 9/11? Yes 82% No 13 When asked to name specifically how America has changed, 23% say people are more aware and cautious, 16% think the country is more fearful, and 12% point to the heightened security measures. Fewer cite a general change in attitude (4%), restrictions on civil liberties (4%), and pride in their country or more patriotism (3%). How Has America Changed since 9/11?

Today, 47% say that patriotism and unity has faded. 31% believe Americans are more patriotic and united today, while 18% think the level is the same. Those in New York City hold similar views.

Friends and Family Members: Their Personal and Emotional Toll Close friends and family members of those killed in the attacks were also interviewed. These respondents were identified in surveys conducted by CBS and the New York Times from late 2010 through July 2011 and called back for this poll. For a majority of those who lost someone close to them on 9/11, life has returned mostly to normal. But it took time just 32% say their lives returned mostly to normal within a year, while for 54% that process took one to five years. 7% say their lives are not yet back to normal, or never will be.
