There isn’t a graph of the socialism question age break down shown.
A total of 43 percent said they have a “favorable” view of socialism, and for those aged 18–29, 62 percent said favorable. For communism, a total of 14 percent said they have a favorable view; however, in the 18–29 group, 34 percent said favorable. That’s about 18 million people. (The findings are estimates: there are an estimated 52 million Americans aged 18–29, so 34 percent is 17.68 million; 62 percent of that age group is roughly 32 million people.)
Considering how the US education system vilifies communism in the same vein of fascism, with political indoctrination from elementary to middle to high school, 1 in 3 young ppl favoring communism is honestly amazing

And this report is from early 2025, so if the trend is holding, it’s probably even more than that now.
