A large-scale study published in American Psychologist suggests that negative emotions among voters are not only linked to populist attitudes but are also significant predictors of populist voting behavior in major elections.
The study was motivated by the growing prominence of populist leaders and movements across the globe, from the United Kingdom’s Brexit referendum to the election of Trump in the United States .
Areas with higher levels of anger, anxiety, and depression in tweets were significantly more likely to vote for Leave.
Anger was the most robust predictor, with a one standard deviation increase in anger levels associated with a 3 percentage point increase in the Leave vote share.
Findings suggest that the emotional tone of public discourse, as reflected on social media, can be a powerful predictor of populist voting behavior.
