U.S. voters “strongly prefer” capitalism to socialism, a sentiment which has increased since April of 2021, a poll from Rasmussen Reports found.
Only 17 percent of 900 likely U.S. voters polled between February 5-7 prefer socialism to capitalism. Sixty-seven percent prefer capitalism, up from 65 percent in 2021, according to the survey, which has a ±3 percentage point margin of sampling error and a 95 percent level of confidence.
The results come after the House of Representatives passed a Republican-led resolution condemning “the horrors of socialism.” Cuban-American Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) introduced the anti-Socialism resolution, a symbolic move that declares the country “founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed.”
