84% of Gen Z Democrats Back Socialism: Poll
Daily Signal ^ | October 4, 2026 | Pedro Rodriguez

Posted on 10/04/2026 3:35:54 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

A groundbreaking new poll conducted ahead of November’s midterm elections has uncovered that over 30% of Americans have a favorable view of socialism.

According to the OnMessage poll, which surveyed 800 American voters from July 12-16, 35% of respondents identified as Democrats, 84% of whom identified as Gen Z.

“Embracing socialism is no longer a fringe talking point for Democratic voters. Our data shows that a majority of Democrats of all ages hold favorable views of socialism, including 84% of Gen Z Democrats,” Henry Parkhurst, the OnMessage pollster who carried out the survey, told the Daily Signal.

The findings confirm that the Democratic Party’s claim that socialism is a “fringe issue” is no longer true, and that socialism has spread into the party’s core.

And 100% of those gen z fools couldn’t even tell you what socialism means. And they sure wouldn’t give their paycheck to someone refusing to work.

These kids go to school where everything is paid for with a swipe of a card. They have little concept of where the money comes from to pay for goods or services.

A budget? They have no idea what that even is.

Our schools have failed our young people in so very many ways. They can’t read, they can’t write, and they can’t do basic math. The teachers unions have seen to making sure our kids aren’t educated.

I don’t know if there’s a way to get rid of the teachers unions, but there needs to be an overhaul. School choice is one possibility, but it’s not an instant fix. Parents need to be involved in their kids’ educations. Be parents to your kids, not their friends.

The one comment that I heard the other day that simplified this: When the wall came down, were people running in….or running out? That sums up socialism’s impact on Europe.

We are heading for a perfect storm of AI robotics + losers that want socialism.

Young kids that can’t drive + self-driving vehicles.

I may not live long enough to see the full manifestation.

They do not want the American dream. They do not want to work. The want someone else to be responsible for them. They believe they are owed this.

Most would accept a tube in their butt and on down their throat as they laid in a chair 24x7.

All we've had since the 30's is variants of socialism.

These kids have grown up watching bank bailouts, TARP, stimulus checks from Trump and Biden.

Potus is promising 5k to voters if the GOP wins. We are all socialist now.

Our schools have failed our young people in so very many ways.

Our schools failed because they have been intentionally infiltrated by the American Left for at least the past 65 years.

It was an in-your-face effort and our public officials and most parents slept through the whole thing.

It is a very cost-effective way to gain control of a country - just dumb down the voters and have enough elections before the matter can be corrected.

Yep. Plus our parents are passive. And many of them are single parents trying to raise their children.

Of course, it is by design.
