A new survey reports that roughly one-third of Democrats now describe themselves as democratic socialists. Both outlets cite a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, which finds that the share of Americans identifying with the term extends beyond Democrats to include some Democratic-leaning respondents. The reporting highlights that this group is still a minority within the broader Democratic Party, but it is characterized as a politically engaged and relatively loyal segment. According to the account of the results, those who identify as democratic socialists are more likely than other Democrats to be supportive and to consistently align with that label. The sources do not present details on specific policy preferences or provide exact demographic breakdowns in the provided excerpts, but they agree on the core finding: identification as democratic socialism has become more common among Democrats and Democratic-leaning Americans. The poll is presented as evidence of growing influence or visibility for the party’s more progressive wing, as reflected in how people self-identify.
