A majority of Americans now see North Korea as the most significant threat to the United States, while their fear of the Islamic State has plummeted, according to a new poll from NBC News and Survey Monkey.
The poll reveals that 54 percent of Americans now believe North Korea poses the greatest immediate threat to the U.S., compared to just 19 percent who believe it remains the Islamic State.
This data represents a shift from July when 41 percent of Americans cited North Korea was the greatest immediate threat and 28 percent said it was ISIS.
A consensus was also spread across party lines, with a majority of Republicans (53 percent), Republican-leaners, independents (53 percent) and Democrats and Democratic-leaners (55 percent) agreeing on the immediate threats.
