Fear Surveys
In 2014 Chapman University began a series of surveys of what the US public fears.
2017
In 2017, a survey of 1207 US adults revealed their greatest fear to be "corrupt government officials". Evidence of an increasing failure of "terrorism" to scare people was provided by the fact that fear of "terrorism" was ranked as #22, down from #2 the previous year.[1] The 2017 survey revealed that "One-third agree or strongly agree with the statement, “In order to curb terrorism in this country, it will be necessary to give up some civil liberties.”"[2]

"Terrorism" was #2, with 41% of people "afraid" or "very afraid".
2015
2014
"Cyber-terrorism" was #2, with 44.8% of people "afraid" or "very afraid". "Terrorism" was #4, with 44.1% of people "afraid" or "very afraid".
