Americans give capitalism its lowest ever rating in new Gallup survey
"The lowest share of Americans ever view capitalism positively and big business rates even worse in new Gallup data released Monday.
Why it matters: Americans' souring attitudes toward capitalism and corporations reflects a growing unease with the economy, rising inflation and a stagnating job market.
In another recent poll, 70% of U.S. adults said they had no faith in the American dream of hard work paying off.
By the numbers: A slim majority of Americans — 54% — said they have positive ratings of capitalism, down from 60% in 2021.
Perceptions of socialism — currently 39% positive — have not changed significantly since polling began in 2010.
State of play: For the first time, fewer than half of Democrats view capitalism positively. They're also the only political group to view socialism more positively than capitalism."
