PRINCETON, NJ -- More than one-third of Americans (36%) have a positive image of "socialism," while 58% have a negative image. Views differ by party and ideology, with a majority of Democrats and liberals saying they have a positive view of socialism, compared to a minority of Republicans and conservatives.
Hmmmm.....I find that interesting. Considering the negativity the teabaggers seem to espouse towards socialism. Over 1 out of very 3 Americans consider it "Positive".
However I found it interesting that 1 out of 5 people who consider themselves conservative have a positive view of socialism...Dam!:D
I wish the poll had of went further. I wish they had included fascism in there. The liberal response would have been around zero while the conservative number would have been extremely high.
I wonder if they have ever done this poll in a politically enlightened country like France. The positive response would have been 90+%!
