62.4% of White Republicans believe Great Replacment is not a natural change but has been promoted by progressive and liberal leaders trying to increase their political power by replacing more conservative white voters with non-whites.”
(WhiteNationalism)Some of our major findings are that:
59.4% of Republicans said they had not even heard of the Great Replacement theory until they were polled, but 62.4% nonetheless at least slightly agreed with the Great Replacement theory once it was succinctly explained to them.
Respondents who had previously heard of the Great Replacement theory tended to have learned about it relatively recently.
68.5% of all respondents and 69.7% of Republicans had not heard of the White Genocide theory until polled.
“Alternate” news sources as opposed to “Alt-Right” sources were the leading way in which respondents had learned about the Great Replacement.
“Friends or family” as opposed to “Alt-Right” sources were another leading way in which respondents learned about the Great Replacement.
X/Twitter and other forms of online discussion were the leading ways in which those aged 18–29 and 30–44 had learned about the Great Replacement theory.
6.1% of Republican respondents said they are opposed to preserving a white majority. They are well outnumbered by the 14.8% of Democrat respondents who said preserving a white majority was at least somewhat important to them.
50% of Republicans would support a candidate who proposed an immigration program explicitly designed to maintain America’s white majority.
We explained to the respondents that the Great Replacement theory is the claim that political elites around the world are intentionally replacing whites with non-whites, and then asked them whether they: 1) disagreed that whites were being replaced, 2) agreed whites are being replaced but that this is unintentional, or 3) agreed whites are being replaced and that this is intentional.
50% of Republicans agreed with the Great Replacement theory, while 20.9% believed that whites are being replaced, but unintentionally.
72.5% of Democrats disagreed that whites are being replaced at all, with the rest evenly split on whether replacement is intentional or not. The result is surprising, given that an important Democrat talking point is that whites will be a minority in the 2040s. Further polling is needed to see if these Democrats are just falsifying their opinions, if they are genuinely ignorant, or if they hold blatantly contradictory beliefs. It is a widespread “meme” that Leftists will move from denying replacement to claiming that it is a boon to claiming that it is a just punishment for white people’s sins—often within the same conversation. It would be interesting to test this meme against hard evidence.
44.9% of Independents disagreed that whites are being replaced, with the rest split equally on whether white replacement was intentional or not.
