    Health Nerd Retweeted Drew Linzer

    I've been thinking about this, and I wonder how much of this type of poll reflects reverse causality I.e. here the idea is that Republicans believe in QAnon, but perhaps it's more that QAnon people become Republicans #epitwitterhttps://twitter.com/DrewLinzer/status/1301242419514494976 …

    Health Nerd added,

    Drew LinzerVerified account @DrewLinzer
    We polled belief in the #QAnon conspiracy theory. Fully 33% of Republicans say it is mostly true. 23% think some parts are true. Only 13% say it's not true at all. In contrast, 72% of Democrats say the QAnon theory isn't true. Only 14% of Americans have never heard of QAnon.

        Alternatively, could be that people who reject QAnon leave the aside their Republican identification and/or become Democrats

        Anyway, this is being used to say that Republicans are crazy and these beliefs are widespread, but that really depends entirely on how many people in the total sample defined themselves as "Republican" 33% of 5%, for example, would not be a big number!

        Ok, having looked into the survey, I think the main point is that the question is terrible. Unless you are very well-versed in QAnon, this is literally just what Donald Trump literally says every daypic.twitter.com/nEzTEyflWj

        May I suggest another mechanism. Conservative christianity features conspiratorial thinking and Q is one huge conspiracy theory with religious language and themes. The link is conservative christianity.

        Those 2 ideas aren't mutually exclusive, though. QAnon may have attracted new people to the party since 2017; longtime Repubs may also be led (since their leader retweets Q material) to self-report belief in Q. A better poll would be able to isolate those groups.

        Excellent point, but I'd also point out how deceptive the summary is. The R numbers only equal 69%. The D 72% rather implies that 28% might believe it is true, whereas it could be all people who had never heard of it. The 14% of all Americans is tossed in to confuse the totals.
