Notably, men had a more positive response than women with 68% of men saying they had a positive reaction to the word and only 48% of women had a positive reaction to the word.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When asked about their reactions to the world \u201csocialism,\u201d 52% of all respondents had a negative reaction, while 41% had a positive reaction. The reactions along gender lines were different, as well, with 59% of males responding negatively and only 46% of females.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Respondents were asked, \u201cDo you believe the federal government should or should not pursue policies that try to reduce the gap between wealthy and less well-off Americans?\u201d Most responded that they should do so, with 39% believing strongly that they should, and 27% of respondents believing somewhat they should.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Respondents were also asked nuanced questions about socialist and capitalistic ideas. Of all respondents, 58% said that \u201cUnfairness in the economic system that favors the wealthy\u201d is a bigger problem than \u201cOver-regulation of the free market that interferes with growth and prosperity.\u201d Only 36% saw the latter as the bigger problem out of the two issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The group was asked, \u201cDo you think the evidence for capitalism, as an economic system, is now better, worse, or about the same when compared with 50 years ago?\u201d Out of the total people surveyed, only 27% said the evidence for capitalism is better than it was 50 years ago with 41% saying that it is worse.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When asked the same question about socialism, 27% said that the evidence for socialism as an economic system is now better than it was 50 years ago while 43% said it is worse. According to a description of the polling, the more pressing issue regarding the numbers is the shift in support of socialism and capitalism from the younger generation over the past several years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cToday, 18-34 year-olds are almost evenly split between those who view capitalism positively and those who view it negatively (49% vs. 46%). Two years ago, that margin was a gaping 20 points (58% vs. 38%),\u201d the site noted.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It added, \u201cBy contrast, views among adults ages 35 and older haven\u2019t budged, with wide margins of 35-64 year-olds and 65+ saying they view capitalism in a positive light.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The site also discussed the change in views of capitalism within political ideologies. \u201cAnd more specifically, young Republicans have seen real movement in the past two years,\u201d it added, stating, \u201cin 2019, 81% of Republicans and GOP leaners age 18-34 had a positive view of capitalism; today, that number has fallen to 66%. Among Republicans 35 and older, views haven\u2019t shifted as substantially.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Among adults in Gen Z (ages 18-24), perceptions of capitalism are not positive, the group noted, with 42% of Gen Z-ers holding a positive view and 54% a negative view.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
