Philosophy student’s survey of moral and political attitudes in contemporary American culture

Angie Jachim, a philosophy student at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, is working on a senior thesis "research project concerning the moral and political temperature of contemporary American
culture. In order to further my research, I have created a survey. [Professor Andrew Youpa] 
suggested I email you and see if you would be willing to share the link to my survey on your blog website. Any feedback you and your readers could provide would be greatly appreciated." 

Here is the survey, which I take it should only be completed by Americans.  Its focus is mainly on issues about moral relativism and objectivity, it seems.  (The survey may seem at points to run together metaphysical, epistemological and semantic issues, so I can imagine some philosophers finding it a bit tough to answer some of the questions.)
