Gallup’s
annual Values and Beliefs poll shows that 84% of Americans still oppose human
cloning. It was ranked the third most unpopular issue, before polygamy (86%
opposed) and adultery (91% opposed). Animal cloning was also unpopular (62%
opposed). The acceptability of physician-assisted suicide was the most divisive
cultural issue. Americans were split 45% vs 48%. Having children outside of
marriage and abortion also divide Americans. Pornography and gay relations
produce the widest generational gaps. Gallup has conducted practically the same
poll every May since 2002. The results of those polls are available at this link.
