Very conservative and overwhelmingly Republican, Populist Right hold highly restrictive views about immigration policy and are very critical of government. But, in contrast to other parts of the GOP coalition, their criticism extends well beyond government to views of big business and to the economic system as a whole: 82% say that large corporations are having a negative impact on the way things are going in the country, and nearly half support higher taxes on the wealthy and on large corporations.

Like the other two deeply ideologically conservative typology groups, Populist Right are overwhelmingly White [85%]. However, in contrast to these groups, a majority of Populist Right are women [54%]. Populist Right are also one of the least highly educated groups; just two-in-ten are college graduates.

Populist Right are among the groups most likely to say that illegal immigration is a very big problem in the country today, and nearly half [48%] say that the number of legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. should decrease. They hold very positive attitudes about former President Donald Trump. About eight-in-ten say they feel warmly toward Trump, and six-in-ten say they feel very warmly toward him. A majority [57%] also say Trump should run for president again in 2024.

Ambivalent Right

Ambivalent Right are a GOP-leaning group as a whole – 68% identify as or lean Republican – and they make up a substantial share of all Republicans and GOP leaners [18%]. But this group also includes a significant number of Democrats: A quarter of Ambivalent Right either identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, and a similar share [25%] voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

With 63% of Ambivalent Right adults under the age of 50, they are substantially younger than other Republican-oriented groups. About two-thirds [65%] are White, 17% are Hispanic, 8% are Black and 5% are Asian, making this group more racially and ethnically diverse than other GOP coalition groups.

Ambivalent Right differ from other GOP-aligned groups with their support for legal abortion and less negative views of the impact of same-sex marriage. They also are distinct from other Republican-oriented groups in their views of Donald Trump. Whereas large majorities of each of the other Republican-oriented groups say they feel warmly toward Trump, Ambivalent Right are somewhat more likely to say they feel coldly toward the former president [46%] than warmly [34%]. And most [63%] would not like to see Trump continue to be a major national political figure for many years to come.

Stressed Sideliners

Stressed Sideliners are split evenly between those who identify with or lean toward the Republican Party [45%] and those who are Democrats or Democratic leaners [an identical 45%]. One-in-ten say they don’t lean toward either party. While they tend to fall close to the average American on many issues, they lean liberal on economic issues and tilt conservative on some social issues.

A large majority [83%] say the economic system in this country unfairly favors the powerful, and about three-quarters [74%] favor raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour. Roughly a third of Stressed Sideliners [35%] say that same-sex marriage being legal in the United States is bad for society, compared with 26% who say this is good ([9% say it is neither good nor bad for society].

About four-in-ten Stressed Sideliners [43%] live in lower-income households, higher than most other political typology groups. And they are the group most likely to describe their personal financial situation as only fair or poor [63% say this]. Stressed Sideliners are also one of the least highly educated groups.
