As President Barack Obama is set to address the public after the terrorist shootings in San Bernardino, Calif., Americans are split on their biggest worry — with 36 percent saying it's a terrorist attack and 31 percent saying it's gun violence in general, according to a new MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll.
Another 17 percent said their biggest worry is being a victim of police brutality, NBC News reported.
The results break down along partisan and racial lines: 60 percent of Republicans say being a victim of a terrorist attack is their biggest concern, versus just 22 percent of Democrats who say that.
Conversely, 40 percent of Democrats single out being a victim of gun violence as their biggest worry, compared with just 20 percent of Republicans saying that.
The MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll was conducted Nov. 15-Dec. 2 — after the Paris terrorist attacks and partially after the shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado. But it was taken before the San Bernardino shootings.
