Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

What’s the difference between “morally acceptable” and “not a moral issue”?
some decisions do not have moral weight, they are simply preferences that don't reflect on a person's fundamental character. like whether you like spicy food, or the color of shirt you wear
A divorce could be seen as not a moral issue, but as bad for the kids for example.
I'd say there isn't a difference here, which is why they are both on the right side in the chart. The survey probably just had that option to appease people who have the opinion "but that's it's not a matter of morality at all!"
For example, in the question about homosexuality, one can think that being homosexual is a choice, which is morally wrong; a choice which is not wrong; or an innate thing and not a moral issue. Few people would would consider being black or left-handed a moral issue, but society is clearly undecided where homosexuality fits.
It's kind of shocking to me how many people do not consider beating their children to be a moral question, and suggests to me that a lot of respondents don't actually understand what morality is.
