Other polls suggest that capitalism’s waning popularity reflects a growing sense of economic unfairness, rather than a broader rejection of an economic system. Views of free enterprise remain largely positive, according to the new Gallup poll, but perceptions of big business have soured since 2010.

What Americans think about socialism and capitalism, according to a new Gallup poll

A new Gallup poll finds that Democrats view socialism more positively than they did in the past, while their views of capitalism are more negative.

Socialism grows more polarizing​

While capitalism has gotten slightly less popular among Americans overall, views of socialism have remained stable. That’s because while Democrats have warmed somewhat to the idea, Republicans’ opinions of socialism – which were already negative – have curdled even more.

Now, the Gallup poll found that only 14% of Republicans have a positive view of socialism, compared to 66% of Democrats. Positive views of socialism have grown among older and younger Democrats, according to Gallup’s polling.

What I find most interesting is that some of the strongest anti-socialists are immigrants who lived under it. Younger Americans weren’t around in the 80s (or earlier) to remember what it was really like.

Look at the demographics of Modami’s voters. The biggest block is younger white and Asian college grads. High real estate prices are a big part of his appeal, yet the irony is that socialist-leaning policies are a major reason prices keep climbing. Many don’t see that connection.

You think Mamdani's fascism would be better than Trump's? I'm pretty sure there are a ton of "Trumppers" that would agree with you. They think Mamdani's fascism will be far more fascistic than Trump's.

College no longer bothers to teach folks to think, instead they constantly provide a narrative for them to follow.
