Americans are more likely than people in any other country to say politics poses the biggest threat to their personal safety, according to a new survey.

The 2026 Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll, conducted by Gallup across 140 countries, found that 10 percent of U.S. adults named politics as the greatest risk to their daily safety—up sharply from 6 percent in both 2021 and 2023.

By comparison, the global average was just 1 percent.

That puts the U.S. on par with countries like Hungary, where 9 percent named politics as the greatest risk to their daily safety, as well as countries including Serbia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Russia, Myanmar, Spain and Israel, many of which have authoritarian leaders or have seen political violence.
