Fewer Republicans are likely to say now that it is important for the president to provide moral leadership than they were under the Clinton administration, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.

Overall, U.S. adults see moral leadership as a less important task for the president than they did roughly two decades ago, the poll found. Sixty-six percent said that it is an important responsibility of the president, compared to 72 percent between 1994 and 1999.

But Republicans showed the biggest drop in how much they value moral leadership from the president, from 86 percent to just 63 percent, the Gallup poll found. Independents saw a seven-point drop, falling from 69 percent to 62 percent.

The only group that saw an increase in a perceived importance of moral leadership in the White House was Democrats. From 1994 to 1999, an average of 64 percent of Democrats said moral leadership was important, compared to 77 percent today.

1. Surprise, surprise. The immoral Republcians are not concerned with morals.

The Republican base is made up of the least moral people in the nation. They elected as racist, homophobe, sexual predator, misogynist, con man, friend of communist butchers, financial cheat who ruined people's livelihood and around scum bag of the supreme order of degenerates and pathological liars. Washington would hang his head in shame as to state this nation has degenerated.

2. What's moral mean...

asks a clueless deplorable. It’s what I feel at the time and how I want it to mean according to what fits the political expediency and don’t forget some ancient holy writings I can twist to say what I again assert to be moral.

Sad. The thread title demonstrates beyond question the country is beyond redemption because 60million plus voters are simply immoral. FACT. Caring people KNOW what is immoral.

10. You will see that number skyrocket when Trump is 86'd and Pence is running in 2020.

There morality can be simply stated as "God is a Repblcan"

That is all.
