US Voters Show Declining Faith in Capitalism, Growing Concern Over Economic Inequality

Kathmandu. US President Donald Trump has adopted a strategy of continuously attacking Democratic candidates as 'socialist' or 'communist' in the 2026 midterm elections. Although there has been some growing support for democratic socialism in recent Democratic primaries, the biggest change in American politics today is not the rise of socialism but the declining faith in capitalism and economic justice.

A recently released Fox News poll confirms this trend. It presents conclusions similar to last year's Gallup poll, showing a slight improvement in attitudes towards socialism while a significant decline in positive views towards capitalism.
