Key Points

More voters would be more likely to support a democratic socialist candidate than a Make America Great Again supporter or a candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, the CNBC All-America Economic Survey found.

The findings may allay concerns of centrist Democrats, who have been worried about the leftward shift of primary winners in 2026.

The poll indicates that even with a number of self-described democratic socialists on the ballot, Democrats will have the upper hand heading into November’s midterm election, which is widely viewed as a referendum on Trump.

Capitalism remains more popular than socialism in the U.S., the poll found, but has declined in public sentiment in recent years as socialism has gained.

    Dear Americans : as you probably know, most of Europe is turning to shit right now, so you have a bit of time to make things good on your end before parts of europe fall into fascism(again). Seeing you succeeding in overturning this will certainly help us do the same when time comes.

    Articles like this give me hope. Hungary gave me hope too, but the scale is different.

      as you probably know, most of Europe is turning to shit right now,

      What isn’t turning to shit? Outside of China, everyone is having a bad time. Asia is the canary in the coalmine for a population crisis (while still resisting immigration), Canada and Australia have a housing crisis, there’s a general, global economic slowdown.

      Relatively speaking, EU aint too bad. And that’s mostly because Trump was so comically bad it made most of the continent do a double take on the whole far right thing (it’s a shame some countries still chose to slip, but it slowed it down).

      I do see a light. But I also think we’re in the eye of the storm. It’ll get much much worse, then hopefully better if we make it through that.

        I’d just say, Canada has a housing affordability crisis. He have lots of houses maybe not where everyone wants to move to, but there’s lots of empty or underutilized houses in Canadian small towns.

          This is true in the US as well, more than enough homes/buildings/indoor spaces for everyone. But my rent is nearly 3k for a less than 1000 sq ft, even in a nice area that’s just crazy
