What are Americans most afraid of? That's the questions Chapman University is trying to answer. In May of this year, the school asked more than 1,200 people across the U.S. what their biggest fears were.
Topics ranged from crime, government, the environment and more.
The list clearly showed political unrest, increased tension with North Korea and health care.
This is the full list of the 80 biggest fears Americans have in 2017. Under this year's list is the list of the biggest fears when the same survey was done last year. 10News Eric Glasser is following this story today to see if fears in Tampa Bay match up with this list.
