AfD: Data Analysis, Current Polls, and Policy Positions

The AfD's worldview is rooted in a pronounced national conservatism and the defense of a perceived threatened national identity. It conceptualizes the nation as a homogeneous unit, promoting traditional family values and Christian-Western principles. The state is primarily understood as a protective power for its own citizens, with a deep skepticism towards supranational institutions and globalist influences forming its ideological core. At its heart, the party is driven by fears of a loss of national sovereignty and cultural identity.

The party advocates for a restrictive migration policy, demanding consistent deportations and robust national border protection. Economically, it pursues a liberal-conservative agenda, calling for tax cuts and reduced bureaucracy, while firmly rejecting 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 and economically disadvantaged areas.

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 adhering to the rule of law, critics and constitutional protection agencies accuse the party of relativizing democratic principles and endangering parliamentary culture. Within the party system, it acts as an outsider, whose polarizing tactics often compel other parties into strategic cooperation.

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.
