Americans Believe Debt to China is a Greater Threat to US Than Terrorism

When asked what is the greatest long-term threat to U.S. security, fifty-eight percent said debt to China. Twenty-seven percent chose terrorism. Surprisingly, a Zogby International poll found this belief crossed party lines.

(CNSNews.com) – By a two-to-one margin, American adults believe the amount of money the U.S. owes China to cover the U.S. national debt is now a greater threat than radical Islam.

According to a Zogby International poll, 58 percent said the debt was a greater concern, versus just 27 percent who chose terrorism perpetrated by “radical Islamists.”
