Support for Capitalism Drops to New Low in US, Gallup Says

According to a recent Gallup poll, support for capitalism in the United States has dropped to a new low. The survey found that Americans' positive perception of capitalism has declined over the past decade, with growing polarization over the US economic system. The poll reveals that 43% of Americans now view capitalism positively, a significant decrease from 61% a decade ago. Conversely, 25% of respondents view socialism positively, up from 36% in 2010. The findings suggest a shift in public sentiment, with a growing number of Americans expressing dissatisfaction with the current economic system. The polarization is particularly evident along political lines, with a stark divide between Democrats and Republicans in their views on capitalism and socialism. The survey underscores the evolving attitudes towards economic models in the United States, as the public grapples with issues such as income inequality, social and economic challenges, and the role of government in the economy.
