Over half, less than two thirds.

Depends on what we mean by "socialist".  I've seen quite a few very strained definitions of that word that basically mean either "being left of center" or "having at least one socialist viewpoint".

I'd probably be a socialist by their standards.

Truly socialists, maybe 10% at most.  Philip's definition of socialist maybe 67%.

What is "my" definition of socialist? Because whatever it is, I don't know it.

City dwellers. Those that believe in income tax, people who get welfare.

Maybe 10-20%.

Now, what percentage of Bush voters want a theocracy?

Marxists? Less than one percent.
Socialists? Depending what definition you use, anywhere between 20 and 90 percent, as well as up to half of Bush voters.

I think I would have to look at it in terms of specific socialist concepts:
1) Abolish private property- I think not many Democrats support that.
2) Redistribute wealth through a progressive income tax and abundant government social programs- All Democrats support this. (Well at least 99%)
3) Belief that the collective good is more important than individual rights. Probably most Democrats support this when it comes to property rights vs the environment, or gun rights, but maybe not on other issues.

I'd say about the same as the percentage of Bush voters who are fascists or who pine for the "good old days" of a feudalistic society.

I doubt many are really "Socialist" a lot of "Socialist-lite" voters though.

I'm going to assume that all Kerry supporters are in favor of social security, so I'm going to say all of them.
