Poll on American Views of Socialism
The Pure Report account · 3 sources · as of Aug 17, 06:46 UTC
A recent poll revealed that most Americans believe a free market system is a good thing, while Americans are net-negative on socialism. The poll also indicated that capitalism is better-liked among the population. Additionally, younger people are especially apt to feel that opportunities are fewer, and most respondents call the current U.S. economic system unfair. The Democratic rank-and-file has a higher view of socialism than capitalism. Sen. John Fetterman warned against socialism’s rise in the Democratic Party.
