A new survey released today (June 23, 2020) shows that capital punishment is now considered morally unacceptable to a record number of Americans, according to the UPI website.
Gallup said its poll found just 54 percent of U.S. adults said the death penalty is morally acceptable, a decline of six percent from last year and four points lower than the previous all-time low..
The annual Values and Beliefs survey found that 40 percent of respondents said the death penalty is morally wrong, the highest rating since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.
Last year's survey also showed a record-high number of those who favor life sentences over executions.
