Blame the Media: NBC Poll Says Support for Capitalism Is Below 50% for First Time in 7 Years
3rd November 2025
Because all they ‘know’ about it is what they read in the proglodyte media.
There’s no getting around it: Our “corporate media” is down on capitalism, and a new poll showing a growing disdain for the foundation of American economic thought shows the media tilt may be working — or the professorial tilt.
An NBC News poll of 1,000 registered voters found that support for capitalism fell under 50 percent for the first time in seven years. The chilling shift “comes as some democratic socialists, like New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, gain prominence in the Democratic Party,” NBC News national politics reporter Ben Kamisar wrote in his November 2 item. Only 44 percent of registered voters — a mere plurality — now view capitalism positively. Previous NBC News polls “showed slim majorities viewing capitalism positively.”
Just seeing what the American people are inundated with on a day-to-day basis by rich media hacks denigrating the very system that gave them their prosperity in the first place.
