Gallup Poll: Americans' Views of Socialism, Capitalism Are Little Changed

Gallup reports:
Even though Bernie Sanders, a self-described "Democratic socialist," has generated strong support for his presidential campaign, Americans' image of socialism is no better now than it was six years ago. Thirty-five percent of Americans have a positive view of the term socialism, similar to what was found in 2012 and 2010. The 60% who have a positive view of capitalism is also unchanged from six years ago.
Comrade Sanders has his work cut out for him.
