September 8, 2011 - New Yorkers, Other Americans Expect New Attack, Quinnipiac University Polls Find; But Voters Live Life As Usual Word format By overwhelming margins, New Yorkers and Americans in general are not allowing concerns about terrorism to control their lives, but 58 percent of New York City voters, 54 percent of New Jersey voters and 49 percent of voters nationwide believe "another terrorist attack in New York City, causing large numbers of lives to be lost," is very likely or somewhat likely, according to results of three Quinnipiac University polls released today. The polls compare attitudes among New Yorkers, New Jersey residents and voters nationwide. A total of 36 percent of American voters are "very worried" or "somewhat worried" about another terrorist attack somewhere in the U.S. in the next few months, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This is down from 62 percent in an August 29, 2006, survey, just before the fifth anniversary of 9/11. Despite these concerns, 78 percent of American voters, 76 percent of New Jersey voters and 70 percent of New York City voters say their family is going about day-to-day life as usual. "Across the nation, fears of another 9/11 have faded a lot. At Ground Zero, New Yorkers are still worried," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "New Yorkers were the terrorist target on 9/11 and they're more fearful - more than their New Jersey neighbors, more than the nation as a whole - that it might happen again. "New Jerseyans, with vivid memories of the flaming towers just across the Hudson River, think it more likely than not that terrorists will strike again. New Yorkers, who 10 years ago suffered that attack directly, fear a repetition by almost 2-1. "Have we made life-style changes because of 9/11 fears or is it life as usual? Overwhelmingly, a shade less in New York City than elsewhere, it's life as usual." "We're talking about 9/11 fears just a few steps from where we were talking about the Democratic mayoral primary on 9/11 itself, across Broadway from St. Paul's Chapel, around the corner from the World Trade Center," Carroll added. Historians will consider the 9/11 attack more significant than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, New York City voters say 45 - 32 percent. Men say 44 - 34 percent that Pearl Harbor is more significant, but women point 54 - 23 percent to 9/11. Voters nationwide tip to Pearl Harbor 45 - 43 percent, with women citing 9/11 50 - 36 percent and men pointing to Pearl Harbor 55 - 35 percent. "New Yorkers think 9/11 is more important to history than Pearl Harbor. The rest of the nation isn't so sure. There's a significant gender gap. Women are far more likely than men to think that memories of 9/11 will dominate over Pearl Harbor in the history books," Carroll said. Only 12 percent of New Jersey voters believe a major terrorist attack in their own home town is very or somewhat likely and 39 percent are very or somewhat worried that a member of their family will become the victim of a terrorist attack. In an open-ended question, allowing for any answer, 14 percent of American voters list New York as the U.S. city they would most like to visit, followed by Washington at 7 percent. New York was at 13 percent in a December 10, 2001, Quinnipiac University poll. New York is safer since the 9/11 attacks, 31 percent of American voters say, while 57 percent say it is about as safe and 8 percent say less safe. Since the attacks, 14 percent of voters nationwide say they are more likely to visit New York, with 15 percent less likely and 67 percent about as likely. Since 9/11, 19 percent of Americans are less likely to travel by plane, while 9 percent are more likely and 69 percent are about as likely. There is almost no gender gap. From September 1 - 6, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,282 New York City registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. From August 16 - 27, Quinnipiac University surveyed 2,730 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 1.9 percentage points. From August 9 - 15, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,624 New Jersey registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
