WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- The public is split on whether the U.S. government can do more to thwart terrorist actions like the Boston Marathon bombing, a poll released Tuesday indicated.
The Pew Research Center found that 49 percent of respondents said the government could do more while 45 percent agreed. Sixty percent said measures adopted after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, have made the country safer and 35 percent said they have not.
