That poll is wild man.In other news, this Buzzfeed poll has half of Democrats self-labelling as "socialist" or "democratic socialist". It also finds a quarter of Republicans self-labelling so.
Important caveat: all those polled were Millennials.
If these results are reproducible, it could be good or bad for us.
Positive: The possibility to weaken the Republican base with fiscal liberalism vs. social conservatism.
Negative: Social conservatism wins out and the GOP becomes genuinely representative of its constituency, adopting a Strasserite plank (or worse).
Regardless, very interesting that a quarter of Republican-sorted millennials would count themselves as socialists.
