On what issue will we see the next rapid shift in public opinion?

Asked by hominid (7357points) April 15th, 2014

In 10 years, the U.S. has seen a shift in its position on same-sex marriage. Pew and Gallup polls show the same trend. And in that time, it has become legal in 17 states.

It appears that a similar shift is happening regarding marijuana. And we’re seeing the legality change as well.

Obviously, it’s still pathetic that we still have large numbers of people who oppose same-sex marriage or legalization of pot, but it seems that there is progress.

With what other “issues” are we seeing these trends? Where are we making progress, and what is reasonable to expect from these changes in opinion?
