Past polling has found majority support for the general concept of separation of church and state. That sentiment is not always reflected when people are asked about specific cases. Support for the Ten Commandments displays was strong among most groups in the AP poll of 1,000 adults conducted by Ipsos-Public Affairs Feb. 22-24. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. Older adults were more likely to feel the Ten Commandments should be allowed on government property. People with only a high school education or some college were more likely to favor allowing the display of the Ten Commandments than those with college degrees. People in the Midwest and South were more likely than those in other regions to favor allowing such displays. "The Ten Commandments are religious, but they're also a good guide on how to live your life," said Maureen Jones, a grandmother from the Detroit area. "I'm not religious, but I don't think there should be a big deal made about it." But Marvin Knudson, a retired businessman from Stevenson, Ore., said allowing such displays on government property worries him. "We need to be cautious as to what is implied in this," he said. "I am concerned about the government making no law about the establishment of religion." usatoday.com
