## Resource

Democratic socialism's net popularity among Democratic voters has shot "up like a rocket," surging from +7 in 2010 to +36. According to an analysis by CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, two in three Democrats now hold a favorable view of socialism, while favorable views of capitalism within the party have dropped to just 42%. This shift highlights a broader political trend ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, driven by high-profile progressive victories and deep economic frustrations among younger voters.
