North Korea and What Americans Think About Recent Threats"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In July 2017, North Korea announced that it had fired the first intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the United States\u2019 mainland. President Trump responded by using his favorite social media platform, claiming that the North Korean leader and its government had nothing better to do. Kim Jong-Un responded by accusing Trump of exhibiting \u201cmentally deranged behavior.\u201d The crisis has since taken a life of its own, leaving world leaders to fear the worse possible outcome.<\/p>\n<p>To understand what the general public thinks about this international crisis, QuestionPro Audience conducted a survey with more than 300 respondents from its general consumer panel. Respondents were asked a series of questions to gauge their perception and attitude towards this much critical topic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/a\/showEntry.do?mode=audience&amp;sourceRef=blog-audience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Select your respondents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our research shows that the public believes in a more optimistic approach. More than 70% of the respondents agree that the US should not go to war with North Korea. In contrast, 81% fear that North Korea would use nuclear weapons to attack the US, if ever necessary, and 87% fear that North Korea would use them on both the US and its allies.<\/p>\n<p>Full results can be seen in the infographic below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48229 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22218277_10154783878631296_8517270058460010474_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"2500\" height=\"508\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22254915_10154783878626296_7420564142023544741_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"2500\" height=\"376\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22256520_10154783171686296_6545934871769665670_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1800\" height=\"472\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22219725_10154783171691296_1405220284398374017_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1800\" height=\"573\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22289713_10154791148541296_5378395643788248273_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1280\" height=\"464\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22338898_10154791148316296_1629548411839587855_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1280\" height=\"608\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48344 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22291158_10154791148311296_3736240561677649349_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"kim jong-un threat americans \" width=\"1280\" height=\"576\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48350 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22338740_10154791148321296_7651172702479225832_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"usa threat north korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"486\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48356 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22291455_10154791148406296_4267768134172430306_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"americans think about threats north korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"528\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22290024_10154791148416296_1403259166141814317_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"what americans think about war north korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"620\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22289903_10154791165121296_1860312744735901642_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"war usa north korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"508\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48386 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22289608_10154791165116296_5160140552821837470_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"americans war korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"296\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48374 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22382073_10154791165126296_6090187709445840385_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"americans think about north korea conflict\" width=\"1280\" height=\"558\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48368 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/22339199_10154791148401296_7943597581202129661_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"american war north korea\" width=\"1280\" height=\"112\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QuestionPro Audience conducted a survey to understand what Americans think about this international crisis.
