Nearly half of younger voters have a negative view toward capitalism, according to a new poll.

Overall, 21 percent of respondents to the poll said they either see socialism in a “very positive” or “somewhat positive” light, while 48 percent said the same of capitalism. Twenty-three percent in the poll said they see socialism in a “neutral” light, while 52 percent said they see it in a “very negative” or “somewhat negative” light.

The poll follows a primary season this election cycle that saw the rise of some democratic socialist and progressive candidates.  

Two of the most prominent members of the party at the moment, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D), are democratic socialists. Ocasio-Cortez is also one of the most-discussed names when it comes to the potential Democratic presidential field for 2028.
