And a great many liberals, when they heard Barack Obama promise to “fundamentally transform” the United States, were confident that socialism was what he had in mind.

But most voters apparently aren’t convinced. Rasmussen Reports finds that given a choice between free enterprise and socialism, the overwhelming majority prefer freedom:

[V]oters reject socialism in no uncertain terms.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 74% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a free market economic system over a socialist system. Only 13% think socialism is a better economic system, and just as many (13%) are undecided.

Voters Overwhelmingly Prefer Free Market to Socialism


Jul. 5, 2018


In New York, a Democratic Socialist candidate just unseated a near-20-year veteran in one of the state’s Democratic congressional primaries, and she contends she represents the Democratic Party's future. But voters reject socialism in no uncertain terms.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 74% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a free market economic system over a socialist system. Only 13% think socialism is a better economic system, and just as many (13%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)


The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on July 1-2, 2018 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

In actual fact, Sweden and the US BOTH have "mixed" economies.

Sweden pays for its more sweeping social safety net programs with higher taxes on individuals and corporations,  and its vibrant free enterprise corporate system.


Rich Sweden is what young ignorant Americans think of, not Very poor Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea.
