Hello and welcome to the poll.
Please choose the question that best describes your answer, as well as whether you are old enough to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
“Nuclear confrontation” was considered for the poll question instead of “nuclear war”. Nuclear confrontation could include events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, but you cannot worry about that type of confrontation without worrying about war.
The question includes nuclear war involving other countries besides the U.S. and Russia.
After you take the poll, you may wish to see the results of this previous poll regarding Trump and concerns about moving towards dictatorship.
An update is planned once this diary slides off the recent list.
I will not be able to respond to comments for several hours.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I very much appreciate everyone who took the time to reply.
At approximately 7 hours after posting, there have been 174 replies. 67% of us responded yes to being more worried than ever before including the 36% old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis. I have posted the full tallies below in case there is a significant change later.
I really appreciate the quality of the dialogue in the diary.
I had no idea about the impact of The Day After.
May we all be well.
