Promotion of "Traditional Values" Takes a Back Seat
Only forty percent of voters think promotion of values is an important role of government

Only 40 percent of registered voters believe promoting traditional values is an important role for government, down from 57 percent in 2008, according to a CNN/ORC survey. The finding could benefit Democrats, if voters believe GOP is spending too much time pushing a social agenda.
