87% Worried About Security of Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons

Eighty-seven percent (87%) of U.S. voters are now at least somewhat concerned about the security of nuclear weapons in Pakistan as the radical Islamic Taliban continues to make gains in that country. Sixty percent (60%) are Very Concerned.

Just 10% are not concerned about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

But voters still rank Pakistan as just third on a list of the nations they view as the biggest threats to U.S. national security. Iran is viewed as the biggest threat by 35%, followed by North Korea (23%), Pakistan (14%) and Afghanistan (12%). Sixteen percent (16%) are undecided.

This helps to explain why voters are evenly divided over whether the United States should send troops to Pakistan to help combat the Taliban. Thirty-three percent (33%) say yes, but the identical number (33%) disagree and 34% are not sure.
