AfD: Data Analysis, Current Polls, and Policy Positions

The AfD's worldview is deeply rooted in a pronounced national conservatism and the defense of what it perceives as a threatened national identity. It conceptualizes the 'Volk' (people) as a homogeneous entity, promoting traditional family values and Judeo-Christian heritage. The state is primarily seen as the protector of its own citizens, underpinned by a profound skepticism towards supranational institutions and globalist influences. At its core, the party is driven by fears of a loss of national sovereignty and a shift in cultural identity.

The party's agenda centers on a stringent migration policy, advocating for robust border protection and the consistent deportation of undocumented immigrants. Economically, it pursues a liberal-conservative course, pushing for tax reductions and reduced bureaucracy, while vehemently opposing current climate policies and the energy transition. Its platform specifically targets citizens who feel unrepresented by established institutions, as well as conservative voters in rural areas and economically disadvantaged regions.

Strategically, the AfD positions itself as an anti-establishment force and a fundamental opposition party. It employs provocative rhetoric to push the boundaries of acceptable discourse and challenge state institutions and the media landscape. While officially professing allegiance to the rule of law, critics and constitutional protection agencies accuse it of relativizing democratic principles and endangering parliamentary culture. Within the party system, it operates as an outsider, using polarization to compel strategic cooperation among other parties.

We surveyed voters across all parties within the PolitPro community about their stances on key political issues. The bars illustrate the range of opinions among AfD supporters. A shorter bar indicates a more homogeneous opinion among supporters. Where available, the party's official position is displayed as a circle.

These values are derived from data provided by AfD supporters on the PolitPro platform. While this data is not a traditional representative random sample, the high number of participants provides deep insights into the priorities and values of the active voter base.
