Kids Today

In 1952, a survey on "Religion and the American People" asked "Do you think that young people today have as strong a sense of right and wrong as they did, say, fifty years ago?"  The question was asked again in a 1965 Gallup survey.  Then there was a long gap before it was asked again, but it was repeated in several surveys (by various firms) between 1998 and 2005.  The results: 

             Yes      No         Not Sure
1952        57%      34%        9%
1965        41%      46%       13%
1998        20%      78%        2%
1999        15%      82%        3%
2002        19%      76%        5%
2005        18%      79%        3%
