Gallop and Socialists

The survey, conducted from Jan. 16-29 among 1,033 adults, found 53 percent said that they would not vote for their party nominee if they were a, "generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be socialist."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
