North Korea Surges to Top of U.S. Enemies List

North Korea dwarfs all other countries when Gallup asks Americans whom they consider to be the United States’ greatest enemy. Fifty-one percent now name the East Asian nation, more than tripling the 16% who cited it in 2016, with Russia, China and Iran distantly following. …

Russian intervention in the 2016 election is likely a significant factor behind the 19% of Americans citing Russia as the greatest U.S. enemy — the largest percentage for Russia in Gallup’s trend. Democrats are about three times as likely as Republicans to cite Russia as the greatest enemy, and independents are about twice as likely. CONT.
