Kids These Days [Ramesh Ponnuru]
There's a new Harris poll on social issues. I'm not sure the numbers are very useful, given the way the questions have been worded. (Respondents are asked, for instance, whether they support "the separation of church and state.") But the generational breakdowns are interesting. The youngest voter group—those 18 to 30—are the least likely to support "the death penalty," "embryonic stem-cell research," "the separation of church and state," "abortion rights," "physician-assisted suicide," or "affirmative action." These voters are, however, the most likely to support "gay rights" and "same-sex marriage."
