The biggest gap between democratic and republican views has a 47% difference that lies over debate that blacks who can’t get ahead in the United States are mostly responsible for their decision. 75% of Republicans believe that while only 28% of democrats believe that. The same divide is present in the thought that poor people have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return with 65% of Republicans supporting that while only 18% of Democrats support that. The second biggest divide is over whether or not the government can afford to do much more with the needy. 69% of Republicans believe that the government can’t afford to help, while only 24% of democrats share that belief, so there is divide of 45%. On a group of 10 political values questions there is now a 10% gap between Americans aged 50 and older and younger Americans whereas the gap in 1994 was only 6%. There is also an 11% difference between those who regularly attend religious services and those who don’t, whereas it used to be a 5% difference in 1994. ]]> 2019-12-02 14:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2020gingrijo/9sfm00rhqrsz/wish/418459924 2020fluckka https://padlet.com/2020gingrijo/9sfm00rhqrsz/wish/419029021 On a group of 10 political values questions there is now a 10% gap between Americans aged 50 and older and younger Americans whereas the gap in 1994 was only 6%.
