About 60 percent of South Koreans expect that the incoming United States administration under Donald Trump will have a considerable impact on the North Korean nuclear issue.

According to a survey by the National Unification Advisory Council, 60-point-five percent of the respondents said that the results of the U.S. presidential election will have a considerable impact on the North Korean nuclear issue, while 33-point-four percent said that the influence would be small.

The council said that the survey results show that people think that the new Trump administration may revise Washington’s policy toward the North’s nuclear issue.

In the poll, 51 percent said that China is the country that can have the greatest impact on the reunification of the two Koreas, while 35 percent named the United States, followed by Russia and Japan.

Fifty-four percent of the respondents viewed the nation’s overall security conditions as unstable, while only 16 percent said the security situation was stable.

Regarding the possibility that North Korea may engage in more aggressive provocations, 73 percent said that the North is very likely to do so, while 20 percent said that it is unlikely.

The poll was based on a telephone survey conducted on one-thousand adults from November last year, with a 95 percent confidence level and a margin of error of plus or minus three-point-one percentage points.
