37% of Americans see North Korea as ‘immediate threat’

Most Americans say they see Russia as unfriendly or an enemy (57%), similar to the share of voters who said so last summer as the country’s possible involvement in the hacking of emails from the Democratic National Committee came to light. But that’s down dramatically from 2014, when 77% of Americans said they considered Russia to be unfriendly or worse, with the sharpest change coming among Republicans. In May 2014, 74% of Democrats and 82% of Republicans considered Russia unfriendly. Now, those figures stand at a similar 73% among Democrats and just 41% among Republicans. CONT.
