I'd like this to be the case. But Jacobin as the source is dubious. Personally at least I'm pretty safe saying I'm the only one even in my extended family who's even heard of them. Or knows what they stand for. I sincerely doubt the average American knows enough for it to be mainstream. At least outside of a few small blue state enclaves.

As much as I like socialism, Jacobin commisioning a survey on the popularity of socialism is like Marlboro commissioning a survey on the popularity of smoking.
