Poll: 61% of Trump Voters Agree With Idea Behind 'The Great Replacement'

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that more than 6 in 10 Donald Trump voters (61%) agree that "a group of people in this country are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants and people of color who share their political views" — a core tenet of the false conspiracy theory known as the "great replacement."

Less than a quarter of Trump voters (22%) disagree with that statement.

[...] 54% of Republicans and 53% Fox News viewers now also agree that "a group of people in this country are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants and people of color who share their political views," according to the Yahoo News/YouGov poll. In both cases, just a third disagree. The rest are unsure.

[...] Most Trump voters (73%) and Republicans (64%) also say that "discrimination against white people has become as big a problem as discrimination against Black people in the U.S.," and roughly the same number — 69% and 66%, respectively — say they're either very or somewhat concerned that "native-born Americans are losing economic, political, and cultural influence in this country to immigrants."
