(Steve Watson) Only 13 percent think moral values are ‘good or excellent’
by Steve Watson, June 20th, 2022
A new Gallup poll has found that 50 percent of Americans rank moral values in their country currently as “poor,” with only 13 percent saying those values are good.
The poll found that 37 percent rate moral values as ‘fair’, but only 1 percent rate them as excellent.
Gallup notes that it is the worst ranking of moral values among American for two decades, and that an already negative trend has worsened.
“While the amount of Americans who rate the moral values of the country as poor has been fairly consistent over the last five years, the number did decline to 43% in 2020 before rising again in the last two years,” the pollster notes.
When looked at through the lens of politics, it comes as little surprise that more Democrats currently rank moral values in the country as good or excellent.
A total of 72 percent of Republicans rated moral values as “poor,” while just 36 percent of Democrats concurred.
On the flip side, 48 percent of Democrats ranked moral values as “fair” with 15 percent rating them as “excellent.”
What the hell are those people smoking?
The poll also found that a total of 78 percent of Americans believe things are going to get worse.
“Americans’ views of the state of moral values in the U.S. are dismal,” Gallup asserted, adding “and their expectations for the future are grim.”
Gallup also found that a belief in God among Americans has fallen to an all time low, with 17 percent in total saying they do not believe. The pollster notes that the demographic most opposed to belief in God are young liberals.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
