A new CBS News poll is digging into how Americans feel about capitalism, socialism and the economy at large with the 2026 midterm elections just a few months away. CBS News' executive director of elections and surveys Anthony Salvanto has more.
What this poll says to me is that Socialism is not seen as a boogeyman AS MUCH as it used to be. Which is pretty damn good news for anybody using the word in their campaign.
If your argument is to not rely 100% on polls, just say that lol.
DSA is going to keep on fighting and winning, at least sometimes. I am going to back whoever is against Republicans with my vote, and I hope you do to, even if they have the word Socialism in their platform.
It’s not me you have to worry about it’s general democrats and independents staying home because they have jobs and retirement savings and don’t identify with a bunch of commies wanting to destroy them.
I guess we will see if those numbers are outweighed by general democrats and independents who don’t have a home of their own, jobs, or retirement savings and see the changes they want reflected in Socialist politician platforms.
I’m pointing out how out of touch from reality the average leftist is in this site.
By misunderstanding what a poll indicates?

Tell me how pointing out that 58% is less then 94% is ‘misunderstanding polls.’
Your take right there is exactly your misunderstanding of polls. Those are not comparable due to what they are polling.
Harris had 94% positive polling amongst democrats and she lost the general.
Socialism is polling at 58% with democrats which means it’s probably under 25% of the general population.

25% already say they’re into it.
