A large majority of Americans hold a bleak outlook on the state of morality in the United States, as 72% said the nation’s moral values are “getting worse,” and only 20% said that moral values are “getting better,” according to a recent Gallup survey.
The poll specifically showed that Americans who attend church weekly, are married, or are Republican, were the most negative about the country’s moral direction. But even Democrats, people who attend church infrequently, and the unmarried had high negative outlooks about the nation’s moral values.
In the telephone survey of 1,535 adults in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, Gallup asked, “Right now, do you think the state of moral values in the country as a whole is getting better or getting worse?”
72% said “getting worse”; 20% said “getting better; and 6% said things were the same.
