What is morally acceptable? 2010 Gallup Poll Results.

According the the annual Gallup Poll, here is a scale of what is morally acceptable to Americans.

Divorce is 69% acceptable.
Death Penalty 65%
Gambling 61%
Wearing animal fur 60%
Stem cell research 59%
Sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman 59%
Medical testing on animals 59%
Having a baby outside of marriage 54%
Gay/lesbian relationships 52%
Doctor assisted suicide 46%
Abortion 38%
Cloning animals 31%
Suicide 15%
Cloning humans 9%
Polygamy 7%
Married man and woman having an affair 6%

Parts of this list do not make sense to me, so maybe you can help me out.  The Death Penalty is more morally acceptable than Gambling?

Marrying more than one person is more morally acceptable than having an affair?

What do you think of this list?
