Religiosity and political affiliation are the two factors that most divide Americans in their views of pornography, with Democrats and non-religious people the most likely to say it is morally acceptable, Gallup revealed Tuesday. “For the first time on record,” Gallup reports, “a majority of Democrats (53%) say pornography is morally acceptable,” while only about half that share of Republicans (27%) believe pornography to be morally unproblematic.
*The acceptance of pornography among Democrats jumped by 11 percentage points in just one year, from 42% in 2017 to 53% in 2018.
In the seven years since 2011, the percentage of Democrats approving of pornography has risen by 21 points, the new poll found.
Among Republicans, on the other hand, approval of pornography has also increased but by a much smaller margin (2%), from 25% in 2017 to 27% in 2018. Republicans’ moral acceptance of pornography has grown by 11% during the past seven years, from 16 to 27% viewing pornography as “morally acceptable.”
Regarding religion, the gap is even more striking. Among Americans who say religion is “very important” to them, just 22% deem pornography morally acceptable. When it comes to the group for whom religion is “not very important,” a remarkable 76% approve of pornography.
Other demographic factors also affect Americans’ moral evaluation of pornography, though not as much as religiosity or political affiliation.
Gender, for instance, also impacts views on pornography, as 53% of men and only 32% of women approving. Similarly, perspectives on pornography also vary according to marital status: 50% of non-married Americans say they find it morally acceptable, while only 35% of married people agree.
Age, finally, is another indicator that affects people’s views of pornography.
Sixty-seven percent of younger males, aged 18 to 49, approve of pornography, while only 36% of males over 50 years of age say the same thing.
Concerning women, while only 23% over 50 years of age believe pornography is not morally problematic, the percentage increases to 41% for the group between 18 and 49 years.
Poster Comment:
This just proves most Dems and Atheists have little to no moral compass.
Progressive Policies-on-steroids is what's led us here to this cultural anarchy and dumpster fire. AND...it'll get worse. (No wonder Samantha B felt there was nothing wrong with calling Melania Trump a C-Word on national TV as her audience applauded. Few Democrats and Atheists under age 50 have any sense of propriety. OR SHAME.
This is NOT about Democrat-Atheist approval for the "right" to view porno; It is about...their consensus that porno is morally ok. I guess this coming generation's fathers will be patting "my little girl" on the tush out the door, reminding them, "Don't forget the KY...and to work your azz off at Happy Harry's".
21% spike in Dem Approval of porno since 2011. And a shocking 11% in just ONE YEAR! (2017-2018).
Whom can we thank? The 0bama Regime? Hollywood? Academia? It is clear that homofascists have manipulated all of the above in spear-heading their attack on Christianity and God.
I'd be curious to see a poll within the same time-frame (since 2011) that also reflects the number of people who now consider themselves "Satanist", "bi-sexual", or "Agnostic-Atheist."
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised at all. After all, *most* Dems believe THEY and Man and the State is their "god", their "Ultimate Auhoritah". They not only believe they represent "The Resistance" to Donald Trump, but also represent "The Resistance" to God.
Predictably, this poll indirectly also helps explain the degree of militant and open hostility, hate, and disrespect of Christians and believers in God -- coincidentally since 0bama's presidency) by the Agnostics/Atheists and Dems (often one and the same).
Last Days, my friends.
"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.…" ~ Ephesians 6:11-13
