Rasmussen Reports, September 04, 2025

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and StoppingSocialism.com finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters ages 18 to 39 would like to see a democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of under-40 voters would not want to see a democratic socialist elected president in 2028, and 20% are not sure.

Under-40 voters were asked to agree or disagree with this statement: “Major Industries like health care, energy, and big tech should be nationalized to give more control and equity to the people.” Seventy-six percent (76%) agree, including 39% who Strongly Agree. Just 18% disagree.

The survey of 1,201 U.S. Likely Voters ages 18 to 39 was conducted on August 26-27, 2025 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

Rasmussen Reports frequently slants things in a rightwing direction. Young people were born after the end of the Cold War, so red baiting does not work for them. They see an economy of declining opportunities for them, while the number of billionaires and millionaires increases.
 
Rasmussen would like to say that young people oppose socialism. A source is credible when it reports what it wishes was not true.
Their Twitter feed shows exactly who they are....a biased nine yrs old child who bends data to their bias.

They are the ONLY poling outlet I give zero weight to.

Young Americans Like Socialism Too Much—That’s a Problem Libertarians Must Fix​


A recent survey by the Cato Institute and YouGov paints a troubling picture: 62 percent of Americans aged 18–29 say they hold a “favorable view” of socialism...

Therefore, it is imperative that libertarians educate more Americans to recognize the socialistic actions of big government and fight against them.

Libertarians cannot tell young people that capitalism is working for them; they know it's not.
