When Clinton proposed "Hillary-care," he was opposed just as strongly, and after his stinging and staggering defeat in 1994, he moved more to the center to meet the Republican Congress. As if by magic, the economy took off for the remainder of the decade.
Just as strongly? I don't think it made it to the floor back then.
Wow, that's an amazing graph, but I'll say this: Those who say America is becoming "communist" are an insult to those who suffered under that barbaric system. Until they've REALLY walked through the gauntlet of gulags, re-education camps, Cultural Revolutions, Great Leaps forward, the KGB, and artificial famines, they should put a cork in it.

I'd imagine those that lived through those events put a cork in it too.
Now, if you took this poll today in Venezuela, you might get a pie chart with different results. The central government just revoked the broadcast license of 34 FM and AM radio stations today, which of course put them off the air. One of my spanish language cable TV stations carries a daily half hour news broadcast from one of the last remaining non-government TV networks in Venezuela, Globovision. They spent the entire broadcast covering this event, and the big question that everyone was asking is whose next? We are a long ways off from having the government take over nearly every major sector of the economy and means of production and every part of the media. But it's going on right now in a large country that is just a few hours plane ride south of Miami, which is also one of the top 5 oil exporters to the US. A decade ago people in Venezuela never imagined something like this would happen.
