ATLANTA ( AllPolitics, Aug. 20) -- A new CNN/Time poll suggests
that most Americans find adultery more morally wrong than prostitution
and teen sex.
The majority of the 1,523 adult U.S. citizens polled also said
they knew someone who had committed adultery.
The telephone survey was conducted from June 26 to July 5.
