About 40 percent of Americans characterize the nation’s moral values as

"poor" and 41 percent say the state of moral values is "only fair." Only 18

percent rank the situation as "good" or "excellent." Weekly church attendees

had an even more negative perspective about the nation’s moral climate - 52

percent of active church members ranked moral conditions as poor. Women held

a more pessimistic viewpoint than men with 45 percent calling the situation

poor, compared to 33 percent of men. Americans 18-to-29 years of age were

less critical of the moral condition. Only 28 percent saw the situation as

poor, while 24 percent said it was good or excellent. Some 67 percent of

Americans said the nation’s values are deteriorating.
