  • Left-wing and right-wing populist voters differ the most on the issues of immigration, the importance of traditions, religiosity, and the need to dismantle the welfare state
  • Populist voters from left and right share concerns about economic insecurity, a lack of empathy by politicians, and a perceived lack of opportunities
  • They also share a low self-worth and differ in this dimension from non-populist voters
  • Right-wing populist voters have higher identity misperceptions regarding immigration and immigrant groups, while both groups have lower corruption misperceptions compared to non-populist voters
