According to a poll conducted between January 16-18, either college or the move out of adolescence is warping young people’s minds, as 61% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 reacted positively to the word “socialism” while only 58% reacted positively to “capitalism.”
The SurveyMonkey online poll of 2,777 U.S. adults showed that the young age group was the only age group that favored socialism over capitalism; among Americans between the ages of 25 and 34, 58% reacted positively to capitalism, while 51% had the same feelings about socialism. The swing toward capitalism was more and more pronounced as the respondents got older; among those aged 35-44 the advantage was 56%-38%; among those aged 45-54 the edge was 60%-32%; among those aged 55-64 the difference was 63%-29%, and finally, among those aged 65 and over the advantage for capitalism was 69%-27%.
