    These are different questions. We can survey people about specific policies (which happen to be socialistic) and those rates will be much much higher. But that’s not what we are currently asking.

      Okay, so what do these results tell us, exactly? That there are Americans in this sample who like “small business” more than “big business,” what does that do?

        People’s attitudes towards a particular word.

        If that word loses negative connotation, that’s incredibly telling (for lots of rhetorical and sociopolitical reasons). To be clear, the survey says nothing about the meaning of that word or what it refers to.

          Telling of what? Again, what does it mean? Because I’m guessing, based on the shit responses in thread, that you guys are skipping some steps. What is it telling?
