Poll: Almost 60 Percent Of Democrats Think Socialism Is Great For America

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Daily Caller:

A clear majority of Democrats believe socialism has a “positive impact on society,” according to a poll by the American Action Network (AAN).

 

The political and economic system that wreaks havoc across the world from Venezuela to North Korea is enjoying widespread support in the modern Democratic Party.

 

A telephone poll of 1,000 likely Democratic primary voters found that when capitalism and socialism were polled head to head, socialism won by 15 percentage points, with just 25 percent of respondents saying they favored capitalism.

 

In terms of definition, the poll made clear that socialism meant a greater role for government in the economy and substantial wealth redistribution, but the idea itself was not clearly defined by its traditional meaning as government ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange.
