A new poll from YouGov found that around 30% of self-identified Republicans have a favorable view of QAnon, the baseless far-right conspiracy theory that claims President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a "deep state" cabal of satanic pedophiles and cannibals.
The poll of 1,500 US citizens found that an overwhelming majority of Americans - around 63% - have a somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion of the conspiracy movement. A plurality of Republicans, 39%, agree.
But according to the survey, 30% of GOP voters who say they have a positive response to the conspiracy theory, which represents a sizable bloc of the party.
The results are also not an outlier. In December 2020, an NPR/Ipsos poll found that 17% of Americans - and 23% of Republicans - believe that a "group of Satan-worshipping elites who run a child sex ring are trying to control our politics and media," a key tenet of QAnon.
Only 47% of those surveyed, including a majority of Democrats, were confident that the assertion was false. Meanwhile, at least two new Republican members of Congress - Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado - are avowed followers of the "Q" hoax.
As Insider's Rachel Greenspan has noted , QAnon, though decidedly online, is essentially a repackage of centuries-old anti-Semitic canards about child sacrifice and global domination.
