Voters: Top Moral Issues = Peace, Poverty, Greed

Don't dismiss "moral values" as an important factor in choosing our leaders. A new Zogby poll shows that Americans think the greatest moral values in America are peace, poverty, and greed -- and that Catholics think issues of economic justice represent the greatest moral crisis in our country.

When voters were asked to list the moral issue that most affected their vote, the Iraq war topped the list (42 percent) -- more than triple the number that chose abortion (13 percent) or gay marriage (9 percent). And the most urgent moral crisis in the U.S.?
Greed and materialism (33 percent)
Poverty and economic justice (31 percent)
Abortion (16 percent)
Gay marriage (12 percent)
