Capitalism vs Socialism?

How would you vote in poll of whether Capitalism is a better system or Socialism is? Apparently, 1000 American adults polled last week had some interesting answers:

Adults 40 and older were strongly in favor of Capitalism, while those under 30 were fairly evenly divided between the two. (I think that would have to do with those of us 40 and over having a better understanding of the history of Socialism!)

Republicans favored Capitalism over Socialism more than 10 to 1...While Democrats split almost evenly (39% for Capitalism and 30% for Socialism...I guess 31% couldn't decide?)


I think I was most surprised to see that investors only favored Capitalism over Socialism 5 to 1. (I'm not sure how 20% of them think investments would work under Socialism...)
