The Electoral Supporter Base of the AfD
Goerres et.al 2018
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/spsr.12306
first analysis of thesupporter base of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) since the party’s split and ideologicalre-orientation in mid-2015. fD support—despite the party’seuro crisis origins and rapid organizational and ideational changes—is by now due to largely thesame set of socio-economic, attitudinal and contextual factors proven important for PRRP partieselsewhere. Right-wing political attitudes concerning immigration, political distrust, fears ofpersonal economic decline, as well as gender and socialisation effects are the most relevantexplanatory variables. However, some of our findings–the importance of right-wing economicpolicy preferences, the strong support by certain immigrant groups, and the role of the long-termregional political context–stand out and distinguish the AfD from other Western EuropeanPRRPs.

The Self-Proclaimed Defender of Freedom: The AfD and the Pandemic
Lehmann&Zehnter 2021/22

We explore how the party has adjusted its policy supply to this unprecedented situation and how this has affected its popularity among German voters. Initially, the party’s reaction was inconsistent, but from autumn 2020 the AfD focused on fuelling discontent with the government’s lockdown measures, acting as a supporter of the anti-coronavirus demonstrations. It framed its response as elite critique. So far, its siding with the lockdown
protesters, however, has not had any positive effect on support for the party.
