Rasmussen Poll reveals only 53% of Americans favor capitalism

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

In a shocking poll, barely over 50% of Americans believe capitalism is a superior system to socialism. It must also be noted that the Rasmussen telephone survey did not specifically define capitalism or socialism for participants. Here are some of the highlights:

53% believed capitalism is better
20% said socialism is better
27% are not sure which system is better

Adults under 30 are about equally divided:

37% prefer capitalism
33% prefer socialism
30% are undecided

For those in their 30’s:

49% favor capitalism
26% favor socialism

For those over 40, only 13% favor socialism.

The partisan gap was very revealing:

Republicans, by an 11 to 1 margin, favor capitalism. Democrats were more divided. 39% preferred capitalism, while 30% favored socialism. As far as independents and third party members, 48% favored capitalism, while 21% favored socialism.
