A profile of veterans in American society

    May 25, 2012

    Monday is Memorial Day. What do we know about veterans in American society today? We spoke with Frank Newport, editor in chief at the Gallup Poll to find out.

    Also, we review some new data on how Americans rate the moral acceptability of 18 different moral and values issues, including birth control and infidelity.

    One politician who does not have to worry about the election this year is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She says she will leave office next year regardless of who wins. How is she doing in the eyes of Americans?

    And Vice President Joe Biden has been in the news in recent weeks, particularly after his May 6 statement on legalizing same sex marriage on “Meet the Press.” What have we learned recently about how he is perceived by his fellow Americans?
