This information is from a Pew Research Center survey done between April 29th and May 27th of this year of a random national sample of 3,243 adults, and has a margin of error of 2.3 points.
It lists 12 general values, and the percentages of conservatives and liberals who think it is important to teach those values to their children. Note that many more conservatives think it is important to teach religious faith (81% to 26%) and obedience (67% to 35%), while significantly more liberals think it is important to teach tolerance (88% to 41%), empathy for others (86% to 55%), curiosity (82% to 57%), creativity (85% to 63%), and helping others (90% to 77%). The other five values (responsibility, hard work, well-mannered, independence, and persistence) are all pretty close.
The survey also compared the teaching of these values by gender, race, education, and age group -- but they didn't show as big a difference as political ideology did. You can go to their website to view those comparisons.
