A new Gallup poll released Monday found that 43 per cent of Americans think socialism would be a good thing for the US, while 51 per cent say it would be a bad thing. Gallup’s sample included 1,024 adults. 70 per cent of Democrats said socialism would be good compared to 45 per cent of independents and only 13 per cent of Republicans viewing it positively.
A June 2015 Gallup poll revealed that 47% of respondents would vote for a socialist President while 50% would not. Willingness to vote for a socialist President was 59% among Democrats, 49% among independents and 26% among Republicans. https://news.gallup.com/poll/183713/socialist-presidential-candidates-least-appealing.aspx
