Have Americans become complacent in the face of terrorism?

… Americans still see terrorism as a high-stakes public policy issue, though it has almost disappeared altogether from their list of the nation’s top problems. A Gallup poll released Monday — which was conducted in early April — found zero percent of Americans volunteering “terrorism” as the country’s most important problem. …

Part of this stems from the fact that most Americans believe the country is safer since Sept. 11; two-thirds of respondents held that view in a Washington Post-ABC News poll in 2011. [cont.]
