It goes without saying that left-leaning Americans are likelier to view socialism in a favorable manner. However, this does not mean that every Democrat is a socialist. What it does mean is that a rise of socialist rhetoric and socialist policies have emerged from the Democrat Party. The push for a Green New Deal and calls to do away with private healthcare are prime examples of such.
Conversely, right-leaning Americans are almost guaranteed to oppose socialism. Socialism directly conflicts with small government and individual liberties, two values which the right-wing tends to cherish. In recent months, more and more Republicans have spoken out about the merits of capitalism and the free market.
President Trump, on multiple occasions, has affirmed that the United States of America will never be a socialist nation.
