Poll-itics: Reaction to the word "Socialism" edition

By GottaLaff

This is fascinating:


“Socialism” is a negative for most Americans, but certainly not all Americans. “Capitalism” is regarded positively by a majority of the public, though it is a thin majority. There are certain segments of the public – notably, young people and Democrats – where both “isms” are rated about equally. And while most Americans have a negative reaction to the word “militia,” the term is viewed more positively by Republican men than most other groups.


Republican men poll more positively on the word "militia". Why does this not surprise me? I wish they'd polled Tea Baggers separately.

The Pew Research Center breaks it down in a lot more detail. Take a look.
