This survey was conducted by YouGov using a nationally representative sample of 1,347 U.S. adult citizens interviewed online between December 3 – 4, 2019.
The actual graph is more nuanced.
Which countries do Americans think are socialist?
Thanks, it terrified me even more.
No kidding. That is wild. It’s all scary, but one really stood out to me: there is a question on whether respondents thought that healthcare provided by the government and paid for by the government is (a) socialist, (b)not socialist, or (c) I don’t know. The percentage of respondents that said “not socialist” and “I don’t know” is baffling. Although, I guess I can take some solace in a large number of people being self aware enough to pick “I don’t know.”
Yeah. If you actually know the definition of socialism, most of the questions don’t make sense.
