Polls Reveal The Lingering Scars Of 9/11

It was a much drearier Tuesday morning in the Northeast today than it was six years ago, but once again Americans awoke to the horrific images of commercial airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This time, of course, it was a replay.

While the sixth anniversary of 9/11 appears to herald the most visible return to normalcy since the attacks occurred, new surveys show they have left an indelible mark on the nation's psyche. And while most Americans say they have not made permanent changes to their individual lifestyles since Sept. 11, 2001, they continue to feel that the nation is at risk of another attack.

See today's Poll Track (subscription) for new numbers on terrorism and the 9/11 anniversary from CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, Gallup/USA Today and Zogby pollsters.

Plus: Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's decision to revisit Ground Zero for today's memorial services is not as controversial to most Americans as it is to some New Yorkers, the Gallup/USA poll shows. CBS News/New York Times also has numbers on the GOP front-runner's persona as the anti-terrorism candidate.
