Headlines:
1) These terms mean little to a good chunk of people
2) Numbers rely on individual interpretation of what terms mean
3) Social democracy most popular: more so than socialism
4) But socialism & capitalism neck & neck
4) Communism, fascism and anarchism REALLY unpopular— Keiran Pedley (@keiranpedley) July 31, 2018
Tables to follow. More detail on tomorrow's podcast where @leobarasi and I will be looking at the above by age, party support and other demographics plus asking the question 'Has the public turned against Brexit?' Be sure to tune in.
