September 15, 2020: Thirty percent (30%) of voters nationwide have a favorable opinion of socialism. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 47% hold an unfavorable view and 23% are not sure.[1]
Those figures include 9% with a very favorable opinion of socialism and 33% with a very unfavorable opinion.[1]
However, most who say they like socialism do not think of the term as it has been historically understood.
Among those with a favorable opinion of the term, just 37% believe it "is a system with higher taxes and extensive control of the economy by a centralized government."[1]
