Brand new polling has revealed what many conservatives already intuited about radical left-wing Democrats in the United States, showing that over half of them would rather live somewhere else in the world. Pundits and politically savvy voices on the right have also noted this news comes as the Democratic Party has grown to have a more favorable view of socialism.
The Elon University/YouGov America 250 National Survey that was conducted between April 30 and May 4 asked those who participated “Is there any other country on Earth you would rather live in than the United States today?” A total of 55% of Democrats said they’d like to kiss the U.S. goodbye. Thirty-eight percent of Independents said “yes,” while only 10% of Republicans said they’d like to live elsewhere.
The survey focused on U.S. adults with a sample size of 1,000 and a +/-3.95% margin of error. A poll conducted in 2025 found that the vast majority of Democrat voters agreed more with the tenets of socialism than capitalism and were backing far-left candidates. “Unsurprisingly, the survey found that socialism is largely toxic to Republicans and many independents, explaining why far-left Democrats have had more success in places like New York City but have struggled in red and battleground areas,” Breitbart reported.
“The poll also found that a plurality of independent voters and Republicans prefer capitalism,” the outlet continued. Breitbart also reported that another poll taken a few months later showed that a majority of Democrats had a positive view of socialism. The publication noted that this was done around the time that New York City voted in Muslim and openly socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor.
President Donald Trump responded to Mamdani’s election by saying, “After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense.” The report then quoted former Marxist David Horowitz who became a conservative icon using words spoken during a speech at the Heritage Foundation in 2013, in which he said that his communist parents described themselves as progressives.
“The agenda was a Soviet America…the slogan of the communist party in those days was peace, jobs, democracy. Sound familiar?” Horowitz went on to say. “The communist party is the Democratic Party. In The Great Gatsby, [F. Scott] Fitzgerald describes the rich as people who break things and leave them for others to clean up. That is a wonderful description of the left.”
The left have learned from the 1960s…we in the 1960s didn’t want to pretend to be Jeffersonian democrats…That’s why we failed in the 1960s. That’s why they’ve succeeded now,” Horowitz continued, according to Breitbart News. The report then noted that voters in the U.S. are starting to lean away from Democrats as the midterm elections inch closer, as evidenced by a recent CNN poll showing Democrats slipping.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) gave a great explanation of the battle for the midterms in April 2026, presenting the argument in favor of the GOP comes down to something very simple. “I think this election actually comes down … to two sentences, and those sentences are ‘They’re crazy. We’re not.’ And I think we have to highlight that for the American people,” he said.
