In what has to be the scariest if true poll result of the year, Rasmussen found that only a slight majority of the country --53 percent -- say they favor capitalism over socialism. Twenty percent of respondents said they favored socialism, and 27 percent remained undecided. Scarier still: "Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided."

Rasmussen, it should be noted, has had a lot of polling results that have been outliers, but those results have tended to be favorable to conservatives.
