Mostly law professors | Sometimes contrarian | Often libertarian | Always independent

From a survey this month of Democratic voters by the Center for Strategic Politics, a self-described progressive organization.

Interestingly, the view is much more common among conservative Democrats than Socialist or progressive Democrats; I don't know what to make of that.

The support for public ownership and operation is even higher as to grocery stores (46%-44%). But the restaurants result struck me as especially interesting, because the benefits of private owners' variety of decisions (about cuisines, menus, decor, and the like) ought to be so evident there.
