New Yorkers are more afraid

New York - Two-thirds of New Yorkers are more concerned now about another terrorist attack in New York City than they were on the first anniversary of the September 11 2001, attacks, a poll has found.
Two-thirds of the 976 adults polled last week said they were very concerned about another attack, slightly more than felt that way a year ago, according to a New York Times and CBS News poll published on Monday in the newspaper.
In their routine moments, New Yorkers said they are thinking and talking less often about the September 11 2001, attacks than they were a year ago, but that the discomfort is every bit as intense.
Nearly one-third of those questioned said that their lives have still not returned to normal. When asked if the changes wrought by the attacks have had a permanent effect on New York, about 60% felt there would be an enduring impact.
The telephone poll conducted from August 31 to September 4 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
