Description

Just under eight percent of all eligible voters in Germany have manifest right-wing extremist attitudes. Among populist voters, however, the proportion is more than twice as high, and among AfD supporters it is almost four times as high. More than half of AfD voters hold latent or manifest right-wing extremist views.
