RT asked New Yorkers if they could actually pinpoint the source of that threat on a map \u2013 with some interesting results.<\/p>\n<p>Almost two-thirds of those polled by the SSRS for CNN said they felt worried by North Korea \u2013 that\u2019s up from 48 percent in March, and the highest figure since 2000.<\/p>\n<p>RT\u2019s Caleb Maupin asked New Yorkers if they think North Korea is a threat to the US, and the responses expressed various levels of concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Am I paranoid? No. But I definitely feel that North Korea is a potential definite threat,<\/em>\u201d one replied, while another said: \u201c<em>Yeah it\u2019s pretty threatening, and we responded in a threatening way.
