say the attacks had an impact on Americans' individual rights and freedoms.
While the share who say the attacks affected rights and freedoms has dropped in the last decade , the percentage who say 9/11 changed the way they live their lives today has held relatively steady over time. Five years after the attacks, in 2006, an AP-Ipsos survey found a 50-50 split over whether 9/11 affected the way Americans live their lives. By 2011,felt that way two years later.
That a majority feels the attacks had some effect on the way Americans live their lives today holds across demographic and political divides, but there are some differences in the extent to which different groups feel their lives changed. Older adults, who were 45 or older in 2001, are least likely to say the attacks had"a great deal" of impact on how they live their lives now .
