Most Americans Think Current TV Rating System is Effective
Most Americans think there is too much profanity, violence and sexual content on television, but they also think the current TV rating system is effective at warning viewers about it.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of American Adults think there is too much adult content on television, which has remained generally unchanged since 2010. One-in-three (32%) do not think there is too much profanity, sex and violence on TV, but 11% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted on September 22-23, 2014 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. Seemethodology.
