Morals Sub Par: One thing that most Americans can agree on is that moral values in the U.S. are less than good and are getting worse. Older adults are particularly critical of the state of moral values today. Overall, only 19% of Americans describe moral conditions in the country as “excellent” or “good” and 77% think they are getting worse. The outlook for morals has grown more pessimistic over the past year. But this dim view of morals is not new. Gallup polling at various points dating back to the mid-1960s shows that the majority of Americans have typically been dissatisfied with the nation’s moral and ethical climate. (Gallup 5/21/04)
