?:abstract
  • Partisan affective polarization broadly refers to the extent that individuals feel sympathy towards their preferred parties and their supporters and antagonism towards the other parties and their voters. At the same time, populist parties are able to mobilize voters through a rhetoric that differentiates between, on the one hand, the “pure” people and, on the other hand, the “corrupt” elite or minority groups that are seen as excluded from the people. This paper aims to explore the relationship between affective polarization and support for populist parties at the individual level: Are those individuals holding higher levels of affective polarization more likely to support populist parties, even when ideological polarization is held constant? Is this relationship different for populist right parties and populist left parties? Affective polarization and populist party support reinforce each other over time? I address these questions through two different types of analysis. First, a comparative cross-sectional analysis is implemented based on the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) and the Comparative National Elections Project (CNEP) datasets. Second, I take advantage of a panel dataset (The E-Dem Panel Survey Dataset) conducted between October 2018 and May 2019 in Spain that provides crucial information on affective polarization and political behavior. Spain constitutes a suitable case study for the purposes of this paper due to the presence of a strong populist radical left party (Unidas Podemos) together with a new populist radical right party (Vox) that surged during the implementation of the panel survey.
