A majority of Americans prefer a free-market economic system over a socialist economic system, according to a recent poll conducted jointly by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports.

Respondents were asked, among other questions “which is better—a free-market economic system or socialism?” in which 75 percent chose the free-market economic system. Just 11 percent voted for socialism, according to the Dec. 18 poll that surveyed 1,000 people across the nation.
