Polls

The Hill - Only 9 percent of Americans younger than 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll

That shows a stark generation between Generation Z and older generations.

Thirty-three percent of people older than 65, or those in the baby boomer generation, said they have a very positive view of capitalism, while 23 percent of people aged 45-64, a group that includes Generation Xers and older millennials, view capitalism very positively.

Millennials in the 30-44 age range were closer to Gen Z, with just 15 percent saying they had a very positive view of capitalism.

Forty-one percent of respondents younger than 30 had a very negative or somewhat negative view of capitalism. That compares with 27 percent of those 65 and older, 32 percent of those aged 45-64 and 37 percent of those aged 30-44.
