Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Americans' support for capitalism has sunk to 54%, the lowest percentage of polling by Gallup since residents were first asked the question 15 years ago.

When told "just off the top of your head," a majority said they have a positive image of capitalism, the polling company said Monday.

A total of 1,094 adults were surveyed by telephone from Aug. 1-20. The margin of error was 4 percentage points.

In 2010, Americans had a 61% positive impression of capitalism. It dropped to 56% in 2018, went up to 60% in 2019 and 2021, the last time the question was asked.
