As some Democratic candidates – most notably self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders – advocate for fundamental change to the country’s economic system, the latest Fox News poll finds an uptick in favorable views of socialism. The poll, released Tuesday, finds 31 percent of voters view socialism favorably, up 6 percentage points since February (the first time the question was asked). Despite the rise, a 53 percent majority views socialism negatively, down from 59 percent earlier. Those with household incomes over $100,000 are now as likely as those earning less than $100,000 to hold favorable views of socialism (32 percent each). Millennials view capitalism more favorably than unfavorably by 11 points (47 percent favorable-36 percent unfavorable).
