Gallup is out with its annual poll on moral values. Once again, the death penalty tops the list as having the highest level of agreement as morally acceptable of any of the issues. The report by Lydia Saad is available here, free for a limited time.

According to Gallup's 2007 Values and Beliefs survey, conducted May 10-13, the death penalty ranks as one of the most widely agreed upon issues on the roster of moral issues facing the country. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say it is morally acceptable (66%), while less than half that number (27%) consider it morally wrong. Support for the death penalty is fairly uniform across different age groups, political parties, and between men and women.
