Poll: Terrorist attacks leave Americans depressed, distracted, sleepless
By Will Lester, Associated Press, 09/19/01
WASHINGTON -- Terrorist attacks have united the country in its backing for a strong military response but have left many Americans depressed, distracted and sleepless, a poll concludes.
Seven in 10 said they have felt depressed since the terrorist attacks Sept. 11, nearly half report having trouble concentrating and a third said they have had trouble sleeping, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Women were more likely to say they were feeling depressed about the attacks -- four in five -- than men -- fewer than two-thirds. Parents were more likely than nonparents to feel depressed. Residents of major cities along both coasts were more likely to say they were depressed by the attacks than were other Americans.
Women also reported more problems sleeping than men.
"Clearly, people are devastated by what happened," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center. "This helps explain why there's so much resolve to prevent this from happening again."
He noted that also helps explain why the support of a military response doesn't drop that dramatically, even when people are reminded that such a conflict could cause heavy military casualties. The Pew poll said more than four in five support a military response and showed only a small drop in that sentiment when people are reminded that it could cost heavy military casualties.
Other polls in the last week showed a somewhat larger drop, but still indicated that two-thirds support military action, even with heavy casualties.
People said they are constantly tuned in to news reports about the current situation, with almost two-thirds saying they are addicted to that coverage, somewhat higher than the number who were locked into coverage of the Persian Gulf war.
Nine in 10 said the media are doing an excellent or good job, with more than half saying excellent, a positive rating of the media that is unprecedented in the Pew poll.
The survey of 1,200 adults conducted from Sept. 13 through Monday has an error margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
