A survey finds that four in ten Americans consider North Korea as the biggest threat to their country.
 
According to a joint poll by U.S. political magazine Politico and pollster Morning Consult released Wednesday, 40 percent of registered American voters view North Korea as the greatest threat to America’s national security.
 
Thirty percent named the Islamic State terror group, while 16 percent said Russia.
 
Older voters were the most likely to view North Korea as the greatest threat. Half of voters aged 65 or over opted for the Asian country, compared with 30 percent of respondents aged 18 to 29, and 36 percent aged 30 to 44.
 
Also, 83 percent of respondents said that they had read, seen or heard about the North’s launch of a Hwasong-14 missile.
 
The national online survey, conducted days after the Hwasong-14 missile launch, polled about two thousand Americans from July seventh to ninth and has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.
