From the New York Daily News:
Older and younger Americans are most likely to differ on issues dealing with social values and morality, according to The Associated Press.

A survey released Monday by the Pew Research Center shows a widening generation gap on issues ranging from religion to marriage, creating divisions not seen since generational clashes over the Vietnam War, civil rights and women’s rights 40 years ago.

The survey results highlighted the growing difference among age groups, as evidenced by voting trends from November’s presidential election, in which 18-to-29-year-olds voted overwhelmingly in favor of Democrat Barack Obama by a 2-to-1 ratio.

According to Pew, an independent public opinion research group, nearly 80% of people surveyed believe there is a major difference in the points of view of older and younger people today.
