People are concerned but they aren't scared.

I didn't run into a single person scared of terrorism or unwilling to go out due to it. Christmas markets were jammed!

The main thing I heard was people concerned about the economy. And that mainly was about the car emission stuff and Brand Germany being damaged. Not about migrants taking jobs like you'd hear in America.

I'm sure there's polls to check.
