Rant over.

Some similar data on other relevant political topics:
Marijuana legalization: "Do you think the use of marijuana should be made legal, or not?"
2001: 34% said yes.
2015: 51% said yes.
Change: 17 percentage points.
Government healthcare: "Do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage, or that it is not the responsibility of the federal government?"
2001: 31% said yes.
2015: 52% said yes.
Change: 21 percentage points.

Changes in American moral views since 2001
Gallup polling data of 2001 compared to 2015 shows how Americans' views have shifted on various social issues:
Some interesting numbers there. I guess I found the support for "Doctor-assisted suicide" surprisingly high. And there's been little change on abortion views, even though it's such a contentious issue.
Whereas the biggest changes have all been with regard to views about homosexuality, and a few ideas about marriage, with them consistently getting more liberal. Although, certain aspects of the topic of marriage - such as extra-marital affairs and polygamy - remain among the most widely morally-disapproved-of things. Support for polygamy remains so low that it seems it will be unlikely to gain majority support within the next 50 years.Tags: None
