Pew’s detailed tables show high consensus on some moral judgments (e.g., ~90% say married infidelity is wrong) and deep division on others (e.g., abortion splits strongly by religion and partisan ID). The disaggregated numbers reveal which subgroups hold the bulk of disagreement and where political mobilization or policy pressure is likeliest.
— Knowing which moral issues are near‑consensus versus polarized helps predict where public opinion will constrain or enable policy, law, and electoral messaging.
