9/11 TWO YEARS OUT: SCARS STARTING TO FADE
The second anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 finds New Jerseyans having healed a bit over the past year: 45 percent now say their life has returned to normal, up from 37 percent a year ago. And while 22 percent continue to think about the events of September 11, 2001 on a daily basis, this is half the number who reported doing so on the first anniversary of the disaster. Still, it is a large number of state residents—26 percent—who say their lives were forever changed by the events of that day, and this number is basically unchanged from last year at this time.

According to a new Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll, voters’ top issue concerns in this election include national security and terrorism, health care and prescription drugs, and education.
