A new poll released by Monmouth University this week is throwing more cold-water on Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ far-left agenda; showing more than 57% think “socialism” is “not compatible” with American values.
“The Monmouth University poll released Monday found that 57% of respondents believe socialism is not ‘compatible’ with American values, with 40% being emphatically negative about the economic system,” reports the Daily Caller.
“Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,” said the President during his 2019 State of the Union address to both Houses of Congress.
The survey comes as leading Democrats -including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Beto O’Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, and more- call for new socialist policies heading into the 2020 race for the White House.

GREEN NEW STEAL: Dem Senator Says Socialism Means ‘Increasing Living Standards’ for Seniors
Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley defended the concept of American socialism from President Trump’s scathing critique this week; saying liberal policies are simply seeking to “increase the living standard of our seniors.”
Merkley was speaking with CNN’s Erin Burnett when she asked the left-wing legislator to comment on President Trump’s State of the Union address where he claimed America “will never be a socialist” country.
“Well, it is a society coming together to increase the standard of living of our seniors, and that is pretty much the definition. And the president’s attacking it,” Merkley said.
