A new survey suggests the generation gap in America is the largest since the 1960's.

According to the Pew Research Center poll, American adults from young to old disagree increasingly today on social values ranging from religion to relationships.

The survey being released Monday highlights a widening age divide after last November's election, when 18- to 29-year-olds voted for Democrat Barack Obama by a 2-to-1 ratio.

According to the independent public opinion research group, almost eight in 10 people believe there is a major difference in the point of view of younger people and older people today. That is the highest spread since 1969, when about 74 percent reported major differences in an era of generational conflicts over the Vietnam War and civil and women's rights. In contrast, just 60 percent in 1979 saw a generation gap.

Asked to identify where older and younger people differ most, 47 percent of those who were polled said social values and morality.
