Poll: Americans' views of socialism little changed after 2025 mayoral wins
A new survey shows little movement in Americans' opinions of socialism despite two self-described socialists winning major mayoral races in 2025.
A recent poll finds that Americans' favorable views of socialism have remained largely unchanged even after the 2025 elections of self-described socialists Zohran Mamdani in New York City and Katie Wilson in Seattle. The results indicate those local election outcomes did not produce a noticeable shift in national public opinion on socialism.
