Preferences for Populist Politicians in Turkey
Abstract: Drawing on data from a nationally representative sample, we explore preferences for populist politicians in Turkey. We created descriptive vignettes for two hypothetical candidates for parliament - while one of the candidates actively exhibits populist traits (Manichean outlook, anti-elitism, emphasis on plebiscitary linkages), the other one has anti-populist traits. The outcome of interest is respondents' preferences for the (hypothetical) populist candidate. We develop attitudinal measures of different dimensions of populism and focus on the demographic, socio-economic, and political factors that predict preference for the populist candidate. Our study contributes to understanding populist attitudes in Turkey as well as to debates on predicting mass populist attitudes in general.
