Sept. 11 ranks among the most historic events in many Americans’ lifetimes, polling shows
A new Ipsos poll finds about half of U.S. adults still name 9/11 as a defining event, while only 1 in 10 plans to commemorate it.
- Polling identifies the Sept 11 attacks as one of the most significant historic events in Americans' lifetimes as the 25th anniversary arrives tomorrow. However, only about 1 in 10 adults plans to commemorate the day.
- Americans overwhelmingly recognize the profound influence of the attacks, with about 9 in 10 stating they impacted the United States 'a great deal' or 'quite a bit.' Roughly 6 in 10 report a significant impact on their generation.

- Among those planning to mark the day, most, 56%, will display an American flag. Kevin Noel, who witnessed the catastrophe, plans to reflect privately, stating, 'It's a traumatic day for me where I just go silent.
