Americans fear the Islamic State (Isis) most, according to a recent survey. Cyberattacks figure second in their list of fears.
More than 80% of respondents feared the Islamic militant group posed a major threat to the well-being of the country, according to a recently concluded survey by the Pew Research Centre, while 72% thought cyberattacks, specifically from other countries, posed a great threat.
Climate change, over which serious concerns continue to be raised, featured a rather low sixth on the list with only 53% of respondents thinking it actually poses a threat to mankind. In contrast, concerns like Iraq and Syrian refugees, global economic instability and rapid spread of infectious diseases like Zika feature much higher on the list.
The survey was conducted mostly
based on telephone interviews from 12 to 15 April among a national
sample of 2,008 adults, all of whom were 18 years of age or older living
across the 50 US states and the District of Columbia.
