The alternative question is phrased somewhat disingenuously, or at the very least skews answers heavily by placing the word "free" in the category they (presumably) want to see improved results for.
It would've been interesting to see comparative results for the same question with a tiny change:
Do you think America should be run mostly as an enterprise country or under free socialism?
I strongly suspect the word free alone would tilt it in favor of socialism. Whether that makes the actual question nonsensical or not wouldn't even matter.
As next experiment, you could possibly break some brains by adding "patriotic" to the other side. Then your classically indoctrinated American may be facing an almost impossible task choosing one over the other.
