Majority of Americans Want Military Response To North Korea Missile Launch

Short and sweet. With news of the long range missile launch from North Korea, Rasmussen took a poll and found that 57 percent of Americans want a military response to North Korea.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of U.S. voters nationwide favor a military response to eliminate North Korea’s missile launching capability. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 15% of voters oppose a military response while 28% are not sure.

North Korea defied international pressure and launched a missile last night. Officials from that country claim a satellite was placed in orbit. U.S. defense officials confirm that a missile was launched but that no object was placed in orbit.
