March 2016 – Political correctness and media bias continue to disallow any connection, but the American public continues to see the parallel between terrorist attacks and radical Islam. For the first time since 2006, Americans worry about terrorism more than the economy. A CBS News poll in December 2015 found that 14% of voters say terrorism is their top concern, compared to 12% who say the economy.

In addition, 44%, the highest percentage since 9/11, fear another terrorist attack. That fear has been heightened since the November massacre, when a woman (who publicly pledged to the Islamic State) and her husband murdered 14 and injured 21 others in San Bernardino, California.
