Americans' perceptions about moral values in the United States are more negative today than at any other time in the last five years. Over three-quarters of Americans (77%) hold negative views about the nation's moral climate, up from 70% last year and 65% in 2002. That leaves only 7% of Americans holding positive views, and another 12% holding mixed views. These results come from Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey, updated May 8-11. The survey includes two questions about the state of moral values in the country, which have been asked since 2002: one a rating of current conditions and the other an outlook measure. These are combined into a morality index.
