============================================
Depends what people have in mind when they describe themselves as
"socialist". For most, it doesn't correspond to the classical Marxist notion
of a "proletarian dictatorship" and public ownership, but to the capitalist
welfare state model favoured by social democrats. The poll notes that only a
small percentage of the sample was attracted to what Gallup calls the
"extreme forms of socialism" practiced under Chavez in Venezuela (21%),
Morales in Bolivia (28%), and Correa in Ecuador (31%).
