POLL: Most Americans Believe Current Conflict Could Lead to a Terrorist Attack on US Soil

Per a recent Rasmussen poll, 75% of likely United States voters are worried that the current conflict in Israel will lead to a terrorist attack on the country, which includes 43% who are very concerned. Only 22% aren’t concerned about a potential terrorist attack. 

After Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas launched an attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a cautionary statement: “Here in the U.S., we cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to call on their supporters to conduct attacks on our own soil.” 

49% of voters believe the threat of terrorism has increased during Biden’s time in office, whereas just 17% believe the threat has decreased. 30% of voters believe the terrorism threat has stayed roughly the same since Biden was installed as president.

49% of voters believe domestic terrorism is a larger threat to the US. By contrast, 40% of voters currently indicated that foreign terrorism is the larger threat. An additional 11% are unsure.

60% of Democrat voters believe domestic terrorism is the greater threat, whereas only 37% of Republicans are in agreement. 52% of Republican voters and 32% of Democrat voters believe foreign terrorism constitutes the greater threat. Among independent voters, 51% view domestic terrorism as the greater threat and 35% view foreign terrorism as the greater threat to the US.

74% of Democrat voters, 82% of Republican voters, and 70% of independent voters are at least somewhat worried that the current conflict in Israel will lead to a terrorist attack on the US.

29% of Democrat voters, 72% of Republican voters, and 50% of voters believe the threat of terrorism increased during Biden’s time in the Oval Office.

53% of white voters, 40% of black voters, or 43% of non-black minorities believe the terrorism threat has increased since Biden was installed as president.

When it comes to America’s breadwinners, 38% of individuals making $200,000 annually are very worried that the current conflict in Israel could motivate a terrorist attack on the US. Over half of individuals making below $50,000 annually are very concerned about such a terrorist attack. 

53% of government employees and 35% of private sector workers are very concerned that the Israel-Hamas war will lead to a terrorist attack on American soil. 

Indeed, blowback is real. Every time the US sticks its nose in international affairs, the more likely it will face reprisals from disgruntled geopolitical actors. Those are some of the many pitfalls of interventionist foreign policy measures. 

Combine that with a mass migration policy agenda and you have all the makings for a series of attacks being launched against the homeland. Now more than ever, we must stand against the Invade the World/Invite the World agenda. This policy paradigm presents an existential threat to both America’s national security and its demographic character.
