Less than half of Democrat voters believe that Capitalism “is a better system” than Socialism, a new Rasmussen survey finds.

In a national poll of 1,000 U.S. likely voters, conducted April 27-28, 2021, Rasmussen found that more than three times as many Americans prefer Capitalism (65%) over Socialism (18%). Another 17% say they’re not sure which system is better.

But, among Democrats, just 46% favor Capitalism, compared to 84% of Republicans and 66% of other political affiliations. Only 2% of all U.S. voters who “strongly disapprove” of Democrat President Joe Biden say Socialism’s a better system, while 26% of those who strongly approve of Biden prefer Socialism.
