Americans 90 days after the World Trade Center attacks: “We’re basically content!”

Pew Research Center@pewresearch.org

Frustration has long been Americans’ dominant emotion toward the federal government. This sentiment is common across the political spectrum regardless of which party holds the presidency.

There some wild polling results from that era, to the extent all of them likely need an asterisk. Like who was happy their government oversaw an unprecedented terrorist attack and created two flailing reactionary wars?
