Amid sky-high polling figures for the AfD that have the country’s establishment spooked, a new opinion survey that examined the demographic profiles of those who support the conservative, anti-globalist party revealed that, unlike before, they come from all social classes, ages, and education groups.
Whereas in past years the demographic profile of the party’s supporters tended to be older, less educated, and under-employed, now, according to an opinion survey carried out by the Institute for New Social Answers (INSA)—a prestigious German political and market research firm—AfD voters and sympathizers, people whom the Thuringian state spy boss calls the ‘brown dregs of German society’ are increasingly young, educated, and wealthy.
