Fear of nuclear war has been a fact of life for decades. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has published its “Doomsday Clock" since 1947, showing a theoretical countdown to nuclear annihilation.

In the recent AP-NORC poll, close to half of Americans say they are “extremely” or “very” concerned that the U.S. might be drawn into a war with Russia. Roughly 4 in 10 Americans said they are “somewhat” concerned. The concern about nuclear war cuts across party lines and even resonates with some young adults who were born after the Cold War.
