Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called socialism a "failed experiment" on Sunday, addressing a new poll that found socialism was viewed more favorably than capitalism by Democrats.
CBS News' Ed O'Keefe asked Beshear about a CBS poll that found 58% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism, compared to just 32% who have a positive view of capitalism.
"What I make of it is that people are struggling. They're struggling because the cost of groceries is too high. The cost of gas is too high. It's too hard to see a doctor, and when you do, the cost of that is too high as well. They're not asking for a lot," Beshear said on "Face the Nation."
He continued, "And right now, they're seeing a system that doesn't work for them. Now, I believe socialism is a failed experiment, but I do believe that we need to get results for the American people, and I think when you look at Democratic governors, you see those results."
Beshear cited some of his work in Kentucky and said Americans just want to see results.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.
In an interview with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies called him with the news or when the calls were made.
"In fact, I'd gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he'd passed," said Beshear, who has served as governor since December 2019.
Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell's offices for comment.

(NewsNation) — Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., said Thursday he doesn't know whether Sen. Mitch McConnell is still alive, criticizing the lack of updates about the Kentucky senator's condition after nearly a month in the hospital.
"I have not heard from him, and I think it's a question that Republicans should be asking because he does represent the state of Kentucky," Stutzman said on "Morning in America." "His constituents deserve answers where he is at."
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has also called on McConnell's office to provide an update, sending a letter requesting more information about the senator's health.
Stutzman said he agrees with Beshear's request.
