 XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUNDAY SEPT 01, 2002 08:43:27 ET XXXXX NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY for September 11 Say Most Americans - But Children Are In Favor Most adult Americans do not believe Sept. 11th should be a national holiday every year like Veteran's Day or Memorial Day, according to a new TIME/CNN Poll featured in the magazine's "9/11 One Year Later" issue on newsstands Mon., Sept. 2. MORE More adults were opposed (51% No, 44% Yes) in the TIME/CNN Poll. But children do favor a national holiday, according to a TIME/TIME FOR KIDS/Nickelodeon survey of 8- to 18-year-olds. Nearly 1-in-3 (30%) adult Americans think about what happened on Sept. 11 daily, while almost equal numbers think about it several times a week (35%), or a few times a month (27%). Only 6 percent of adults responded "hardly ever," compared with 27 percent of children in the TIME/TIME For Kids/Nickelodeon Poll. Life changed for two-thirds (68%) of Americans after Sept. 11. Life has not returned to normal for half (56%). A majority (54%) says the country will never get back to normal (only 4% say it will). This year on Sept. 11, most Americans plan to fly the American flag (80%), pray (77%), have a moment of remembrance with family (70%), and watch TV about 9/11 (68%). More TIME/CNN Poll results: * Most (67%) do not think a terrorist attack will occur in the U.S. on the Sept. 11 anniversary - but feel an attack is likely in the next 12 months (79%). * Intelligence agencies failed in their responsibilities to obtain information about the attacks last Sept. 11, according to a majority (65%). Most (67%) believe the Office of Homeland Security is doing a good job of making the country more secure. * George W. Bush's response to the terror attacks was good, according to most Americans (90%). * In the presidential election of 2004, more Americans plan to vote based on Bush's handling of the economy and other factors (61%) than his performance in the war against terrorism (30%). [The TIME/CNN survey conducted August 28-29, 2002 among 1,004 adult Americans by Harris Interactive. The sampling error is plus or minus 3.1%. The TIME/TIME For Kids/Nickelodeon survey was conducted Aug. 15-21 among 1,176 children 8-18. Its margin of error is +/- 2.9%.] ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed By Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereportArchives.com for updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 2002 Not for reproduction without permission of the author |
