The October 2025 poll of nearly 3,000 people found 37 percent of 'Current GOP' members—Trump voters and Republicans—viewing the Holocaust as greatly exaggerated or not as historians describe, 36 percent doubting the Apollo 11 moon landing, and 41 percent suspecting U.S. government involvement in 9/11. These views concentrate among younger 'New Entrant Republicans,' often former Democrats or first-time GOP supporters since 2020, with higher rates among Black and Hispanic respondents compared to whites. Regular church attendance strongly predicts rejection of antisemitic attitudes, while 17 percent of Republicans hold such views, similar to Democrats; most say openly antisemitic people should not be welcome in party ranks.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis
