Gallup Poll: Terrorism, Nuclear Weapons and China Seen as Top US Threats

NEWSMAX reports today that American adults see terrorism, nuclear weapons, and China as the top threats to U.S. interests, according to a new Gallup poll released Monday.

Among those surveyed, 82% said cyberterrorism was a critical threat, while 71% said international terrorism, and 68% said domestic terrorism, were critical threats.

The development of nuclear weapons by North Korea and Iran was also concerning for American adults, with 78% of those polled concerned about the former country and 76% about the latter.

Citing what it described as the United States’ hostility, North Korea warned at the beginning of the year that it might resume nuclear tests and The Hill reports that Pyongyang recently accelerated its testing of ballistic missiles and other weapons.

Though the window for a deal is closing, the U.S. says it is also moving closer to reinstating an international nuclear deal with Iran, according to The Hill.

More than half — 57% — said the economic power of China is a critical threat to the U.S., and 67% said China’s military power is a critical concern.

Although the survey was conducted prior to the Russian attack on Ukraine, 59% of those asked said Russia’s military power is a threat.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday that Russia is Beijing's “most important strategic partner,” and China has refused to condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine, despite mounting casualties.

This poll is no good . Taken before the Russian invasion of Ukraine makes it irrelevant.

North Korea is not a threat to the public the private citizens of this world. Their threat has always been the rest of the world. Especially the American.

The only threat is the American government and their military. A threat to the world and also a threat to their own citizens
