Most Americans believe the current financial crisis poses a greater threat than terrorism.
In a poll taken during the first three days of the meltdown that began Sept. 29, 81 percent of the 802 people surveyed in a national poll agreed or strongly agreed that the financial crisis "poses a greater threat to the quality of my life than does the threat of terrorism."

* 41 percent were very angry about the current financial challenges and 32 percent were moderately angry.
