Poll: Only 37% of millennials think people should "always do the right thing"

YouGov’s latest research shows that when people are asked how people should lead their lives, younger Americans are much less likely to prioritize doing the right thing. 37% of under-30s say that people should ‘always do what is right’, compared tp 62% of over-65s. 42% of under-30s say that people should balance what is right with what is best for them, while 15% flatly say that people should always do what is best for them.

Younger Americans are also more than twice as likely to say that they themselves generally do what is best for themselves and not what is right. 24% of under-45s say that they do what is best for themselves, compared to 10% of over-65s.
