This year, the scariest Halloween costumes in the United States could be corrupt government officials or polluted water — at least according to a new survey ranking the top fears of Americans.
Chapman University released its annual Survey of American Fears yesterday (Oct. 11), and fears about the government and the environment dominated the top 10.
As in 2015 and 2016, this year, corrupt government officials topped the list, with 75 percent of survey respondents reporting that they were either scared or very scared of corrupt officials in the government. [End of the World? Top Doomsday Fears]
But the No. 2 fear this year was one that was entirely new to the list: "Trumpcare." Just over 55 percent of the people in the survey ranked this as something they were either scared or very scared of.
Coming in third and fourth were pollution of oceans, rivers and lakes; and pollution of drinking water, respectively — two fears that were new to the top 10, according to the survey.
