In depressing news, a majority of Americans feel the nation's "way of life" is under some degree of threat, according to a Monmouth University Poll released Wednesday.

Almost half of registered voters surveyed (47%) said the "American way of life" is under “a great deal" of threat, while 31% said they believed it faced "some" threat. Just 13% didn’t feel much of a threat, and 7% said they felt no threat at all.

What do Americans feel threatened by?

Islamic terrorists concerned 61% of those surveyed, while the prospect of Donald Trump as president worried 54%. A potential Hillary Clinton presidency concerned 42% of registered voters. Policies of the Republican Party were seen as more of a threat than policies of the Democratic Party, though not by much, 43%-39%. And 28% of people said they were threatened by undocumented immigrants from Mexico.

The survey also found that 70% of registered voters feel the country is splintered on what the key national values are, while 27% see Americans as united and in agreement on what is important.

A significant majority of Americans also (65%) believe America is on the wrong track, while just 30% said the country is moving in the right direction.

There was also bad news for Congress: A mere 14% of people approved of the job Congress is doing, while 78% disapproved.

The survey found good news for President Obama, however. His approval rating is now at 56% (up seven points from July) with a 40% disapproval rating.

The telephone poll was conducted August 4-7 of 803 registered voters. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 points.
