Very interesting and confirmation of what we would expect to happen when capitalism gets into more difficulty than usual. There’s an article by a US comrade in the February 2010 Socialist Standard on a similar poll, with a similar but not so striking result, done in 2009. It’s here: http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/2010s/2010/no-1266-february-2010/material-worldamerican-public-opinion-and-s-word
A new poll that might be of interest51 percent of young adults aged 18-29 oppose capitalism in its current form. 33 percent of young respondents saying they supported socialism,Almost half of the respondents were in agreement that “basic health insurance is a right for all people” and that “basic necessities, such as food and shelter, are a right that the government should provide to those unable to afford them."http://www.alternet.org/economy/new-poll-shows-majority-young-americans-oppose-capitalism
