According to <em>Breitbart News<\/em>, a full 55 percent of Democrats answered yes.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, only 38 percent of Independents expressed a desire to relocate, while a mere 10 percent of Republicans said the same. The survey polled 1,000 U.S. adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.95 percent through an online platform.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greg_price11\/status\/2063689124746276870\"><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The findings align with a broader trend among Democratic voters toward embracing socialism over free-market capitalism. A 2025 poll found that a majority of Democrat voters now favor socialism and support far-left candidates, as <em>Breitbart News<\/em> reported in September.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted at the time that socialism remains deeply unpopular among Republicans and many independents, which explains why far-left Democrats have gained ground in cities like New York but continue to struggle in red and battleground states. Meanwhile, a plurality of independent and Republican voters maintain their preference for capitalism.<\/p>\n<p>Months later, another survey confirmed that a majority of Democrats held favorable views of socialism. That polling came as New York City elected Mayor <strong>Zohran Mamdani<\/strong>, an openly socialist Muslim politician, marking a significant shift in the city&#8217;s political landscape.<\/p>\n<p>President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> responded sharply to these electoral results, declaring that Americans now face a stark choice. <em>After last night&#8217;s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense<\/em>, he stated.<\/p>\n<h2>From Marxism to Warning Bell<\/h2>\n<p>In 2013, former Marxist-turned-conservative thinker <strong>David Horowitz<\/strong> delivered a speech at the Heritage Foundation in which he drew on his own family history to explain the left&#8217;s long-term strategy. Horowitz, whose parents were communists who called themselves progressives, explained that their agenda had always been a Soviet-style America.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that the slogan of the communist party during his youth was peace, jobs, and democracy\u2014rhetoric that should sound familiar to modern observers, as <em>Breitbart News<\/em> noted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horowitz<\/strong> went further, arguing that the communist party had effectively become the Democratic Party. He compared the left to the wealthy characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald&#8217;s The Great Gatsby who break things and leave others to clean up the mess. The former radical Marxist also argued that today&#8217;s left had learned stealth from the failures of the 1960s, adopting the guise of Jeffersonian democrats rather than openly declaring their revolutionary aims.<\/p>\n<h2>Political Winds Shifting Ahead of Midterms<\/h2>\n<p>American voters appear to be turning away from Democrats as critical midterm elections approach. A recent CNN poll showed Democrats losing ground, according to <em>Breitbart News<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Representative <strong>Jim Jordan<\/strong> of Ohio distilled the Republican pitch for the midterms into simple terms. The choice facing voters, he argued, comes down to two sentences: They&#8217;re crazy. We&#8217;re not. Jordan emphasized that Republicans must make this contrast clear to the American people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/breitbart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new poll shows 55 percent of Democrats would prefer to live in another country, compared to 38 percent of independents and 10 percent of Republicans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":5314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[2703,5804,5805,4565,3088,209],"nfg_topic":[135],"class_list":["post-5315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-democrats","tag-elon-university-yougov-poll","tag-political-ideology","tag-republicans","tag-socialism","tag-united-states","nfg_topic-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5315"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5360,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315\/revisions\/5360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5315"},{"taxonomy":"nfg_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nfg_topic?post=5315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
