In September of 2023, the Homeland Institute conducted a poll on the Great Replacement. In addition to repeating that poll to track how public opinion is evolving, we also explored the popularity of several immigration policies which could help reverse replacement migration.
The Homeland Institute polled 905 respondents who are politically and demographically representative of white, non-Hispanic American registered voters between November 20 and November 25, 2024. The margin of error was plus or minus 3%.
The Great Replacement
We explained that the Great Replacement theory is the claim that political elites around the world are intentionally replacing whites with non-whites. In this year’s poll, 45.3% of Republicans fully agreed with the Great Replacement theory, while another 23.8% agreed that whites are being replaced, albeit unintentionally, for a total of 69.1%. This substantially replicated last year’s findings of 50%, 20.9% and 70.9% respectively.
This year, 19.9% of Independents agreed with the Great Replacement theory in full, with another 29.5% answering that whites are being unintentionally replaced for a total of 49.4%.
Almost a quarter of all respondents agreed with the Great Replacement theory in full at 24.5%, with another agreeing that whites are being replaced but unintentionally at 23.1% for a combined total of 47.6%.
| Q.2 Proponents of the Great Replacement theory claim that political elites around the world are intentionally replacing whites with non-whites. Which of the following best describes your opinion on this theory? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| I disagree that whites are being replaced | 52.4% | 80.1% | 50.6% | 30.9% |
| I agree that whites are being replaced, but I think this is unintentional | 23.1% | 16.3% | 29.5% | 23.8% |
| I agree that whites are being replaced and that this is intentional | 24.5% | 3.6% | 19.9% | 45.3% |
More people have heard of the Great Replacement theory. This year, 47.7% of respondents and 52.4% of Republicans had not heard of the Great Replacement until they were polled, down from 51.6% and 59.4% last year.
| Q.5 When did you first hear about the Great Replacement theory | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| I have not heard of the Great Replacement until now | 47.7% | 40.2% | 50.2% | 52.4% |
| I have heard of the Great Replacement but I don’t know when | 11.3% | 14.5% | 9.2% | 10.3% |
| I first heard of the Great Replacement within the last two years | 17.9% | 22.5% | 15.3% | 16.3% |
| I first heard of the Great Replacement within the last five years | 14.7% | 16.3% | 16.5% | 11.5% |
| I first heard of the Great Replacement within the last ten years | 8.4% | 6.5% | 8.8% | 9.5% |
However, the fact that about the same number or slightly fewer people agreed with the Great Replacement theory despite it becoming slightly more well-known suggests that simply hearing about it is not enough. Further research is needed on what arguments are the most persuasive.
Additionally, slightly fewer respondents aged 19-29 had heard of the Great Replacement before being polled. While the demographic characteristics of the age cohorts were not as tightly controlled for as party affiliation, the results are still suggestive that continued youth outreach is needed.
| Age 18-29 | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| I have not heard of the Great Replacement until now | 52.3% | 49.1% | 54.7% | 57.5% |

Last year, we closely modeled a question on a SPLC poll: “In recent decades, America’s demographic makeup has changed. The percentage of whites has declined while the percentage of non-whites has risen. Agree or disagree: this is not a natural change but has been promoted by progressive and liberal leaders trying to increase their political power by replacing more conservative white voters with non-whites.”
This year, we modified the question to focus on electoral politics rather than race and included the fact that immigrants tend to vote Democrat:
| Q.3 The Pew Research Center found that substantially more immigrants tend to identify as or lean Democrat than Republican. This includes legal immigrants. Agree or disagree: Progressive and liberal leaders favor immigration because they are trying to increase their political power by replacing conservative voters with liberal voters. | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly agree | 33.4% | 2.2% | 29.9% | 61.6% |
| Slightly agree | 20.6% | 12.3% | 24.1% | 24.1% |
| I don’t know | 11.8% | 11.2% | 18.8% | 7.4% |
| Slightly disagree | 13.7% | 26.8% | 13.4% | 3.4% |
| Strongly disagree | 20.6% | 47.5% | 13.8% | 3.4% |
Among Republicans, 61.6% strongly agreed and 24.1% slightly agreed, for a total of 85.7% agreeing in some form or another—substantially higher from respective numbers of 33.9%, 28.5%, and 62.4% with the previous question. For Independents, 29.9% strongly agreed and 24.1% slightly agreed for a total of 54% agreeing in some form or another, also substantially higher than the respective numbers of 18.8%, 17.9%, and 36.7% for the previous question.
This corroborates previous Homeland Institute polling which has indicated that white voters tend to identify more with their party than race and are more concerned about the electoral impact of immigration than the racial impact. Is focusing on the electoral rather than racial impact of immigration more of a gateway or a barrier to understanding the Great Replacement? Is it more like training wheels or a stumbling block? Regardless of the answer to that question, normalizing white identity as necessary, practical, and moral is essential if voters are to have a proper understanding of the Great Replacement.
Like last year, we examined how people are learning about the Great Replacement:
| Q.6 How did you become familiar with the Great Replacement theory? (You can choose more than one option) | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| I am unfamiliar with the Great Replacement theory | 47.2% | 40.9% | 49.4% | 51.6% |
| Sources attempting to counter the Great Replacement narrative | 14.6% | 24.3% | 14.6% | 6.0% |
| Fox News | 9.3% | 10.5% | 6.5% | 10.9% |
| Tucker Carlson | 7.8% | 6.5% | 6.9% | 9.7% |
| X, formerly known as Twitter | 16.4% | 17.0% | 14.2% | 16.3% |
| Facebook or Instagram | 7.5% | 6.9% | 6.9% | 8.3% |
| Online discussion, such as Discord servers, multiplayer video games, 4-chan, or forums | 9.9% | 9.1% | 10.7% | 9.7% |
| Friends or family | 11.4% | 10.1% | 11.1% | 12.6% |
| “Alt-Right” groups or sources | 4.3% | 6.5% | 3.1% | 2.9% |
| Alternative news sources | 12.5% | 9.4% | 11.5% | 15.5% |
| Other | 10.2% | 13.0% | 11.1% | 6.6% |
We also broke down the results by age:
| Results by Age | ||||
| 18-29 | 30-44 | 45-64 | 65+ | |
| I am unfamiliar with the Great Replacement theory | 50.3% | 43.4% | 69.0% | 47.3% |
| Sources attempting to counter the Great Replacement narrative | 15.0% | 15.5% | 21.2% | 12.7% |
| Fox News | 7.8% | 11.5% | 12.4% | 8.8% |
| Tucker Carlson | 5.9% | 9.3% | 10.2% | 8.8% |
| X, formerly known as Twitter | 20.9% | 23.0% | 19.9% | 9.8% |
| Facebook or Instagram | 5.9% | 12.8% | 8.4% | 5.4% |
| Online discussion, such as Discord servers, multiplayer video games, 4-chan, or forums | 17.6% | 16.8% | 8.8% | 2.4% |
| Friends or family | 10.5% | 15.9% | 15.5% | 7.8% |
| “Alt-Right” groups or sources | 6.5% | 7.5% | 2.7% | 2.9% |
| Alternative news sources | 9.2% | 12.8% | 19.9% | 12.2% |
| Other | 5.9% | 8.0% | 12.8% | 17.6% |
The most notable change was that more people are learning about the Great Replacement through X, formerly known as Twitter. For respondents overall, this number rose from 9.8% last year to 16.4% this year. X was especially high at 20.9% for respondents age 18-29, 23% for those age 30-44, and 19.9% for those age 45-64.
Last year, we asked another question verbatim from a 2022 SPLC poll: “Do you feel the changing demographics of America pose a threat to white Americans and their culture and values, or not? (IF YES) Do you feel that way strongly, somewhat, or only a little?” Many more respondents in our 2023 poll answered that they feel threatened than in the SPLC poll. This 2024 poll closely replicated the results of our 2023 poll:
| Q.8 Do you feel the changing demographics of America pose a threat to white Americans and their culture and values, or not? (IF YES) Do you feel that way strongly, somewhat, or only a little? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| No | 47.3% | 81.5% | 47.5% | 19.5% |
| I don’t know | 9.9% | 3.3% | 13.4% | 12.3% |
| Yes, only a little | 14.0% | 10.5% | 14.6% | 16.3% |
| Yes, somewhat | 15.7% | 3.6% | 14.2% | 26.9% |
| Yes, strongly | 13.0% | 1.1% | 10.3% | 24.9% |
24.9% of white Republicans answered yes, strongly, 26.9% yes, somewhat, and 16.3% yes, only a little for a combined total of 68.1%. Furthermore, 39.1% of Independents and even 15.2% of Democrats at least slightly agreed that changing demographics poses a threat to white Americans and their culture and values.
Like last year, we also asked “If you support preserving the white majority in America, how important of a political issue is it to you?”
| Q.10 If you support preserving the white majority in America, how important of a political issue is it to you? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| All % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| The most important | 1.8% | 0.4% | 0.8% | 3.4% |
| Very important | 10.9% | 4.3% | 8.0% | 18.9% |
| Somewhat important | 15.1% | 4.3% | 16.5% | 22.9% |
| I don’t know | 8.1% | 2.5% | 6.9% | 13.2% |
| I neither support not oppose preserving the white majority in America | 37.1% | 33.7% | 41.4% | 37.2% |
| I oppose preserving the white majority in America | 27.0% | 54.7% | 26.4% | 4.3% |
3.4% of white Republicans answered that preserving the white majority was the most important political issue for them, 18.9% very important, and 22.9% somewhat important.
45.2% of Republicans, 25.3% of Independents, and 9% of Democrats said it was at least somewhat important, compared to 51.2%, 23.1%, and 14.8% last year. The dramatic drop in the percentage of Democrats that agree might be influenced by election year polarization. We will pay special attention to this number when we repeat this poll in coming years.
We also asked if respondents would support a candidate who proposed immigration policies to preserve the white majority in America:
| Q.9 If a political candidate proposed immigration policies to preserve the white majority in America, would you: | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % All | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly disagree | 32.5% | 61.6% | 31.0% | 8.9% |
| Somewhat disagree | 13.9% | 19.2% | 14.9% | 9.5% |
| Not care | 14.6% | 6.9% | 17.6% | 19.2% |
| Somewhat agree | 15.8% | 5.4% | 15.3% | 24.1% |
| Strongly agree | 14.8% | 2.9% | 12.3% | 26.6% |
| I don’t know | 8.4% | 4.0% | 8.8% | 11.7% |
50.7% of Republicans answered they would at least somewhat agree with a candidate proposing such policies, which closely replicated last year’s number of 50%.
Immigration Policies
One of Donald Trump’s key campaign promises was to use the military to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants and to end birthright citizenship. This inspired us to explore the popularity of these and other immigration and repatriation policies among the white electorate.
| Q.12 What is your opinion on conducting mass deportations of all illegal immigrants in America? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| All % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 32.8% | 1.1% | 29.5% | 59.6% |
| Support | 19.8% | 9.4% | 21.8% | 25.8% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 7.9% | 8.7% | 10.0% | 5.4% |
| Oppose | 14.5% | 24.6% | 15.7% | 4.9% |
| Strongly oppose | 24.9% | 53.6% | 21.1% | 2.6% |
| I don’t know | 2.0% | 2.5% | 1.9% | 1.7% |
Support for deporting all illegal immigrants was high with more respondents supporting than opposing it, including among Independents. However, support for using the military for deportations was lower:
| Q.13 What is your opinion on utilizing the military to conduct mass deportations of all illegal immigrants in America? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 23.5% | 0.7% | 20.3% | 44.7% |
| Support | 18.3% | 6.2% | 16.1% | 29.8% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 9.2% | 3.6% | 13.0% | 10.9% |
| Oppose | 11.7% | 14.9% | 13.4% | 8.0% |
| Strongly oppose | 34.7% | 72.5% | 34.1% | 4.0% |
| I don’t know | 2.5% | 2.2% | 3.1% | 2.6% |
That more Democrats strongly opposed using the military for deportations than Republicans who strongly support doing so corroborates previous Homeland polling which found greater emotional intensity about immigration on the Left than the Right. Mustering the same emotional intensity as the Left is necessary since politics oftentimes comes down to a battle of wills.
Support for ending birthright citizenship was even lower:
| Q.14 Under current law anyone born on American soil is automatically a citizen, aka birthright citizenship. Unrestricted birthright citizenship is extremely rare outside of North America and South America. What is your opinion on ending birthright citizenship? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 17.3% | 5.1% | 16.1% | 28.1% |
| Support | 17.2% | 10.1% | 13.0% | 26.4% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 16.7% | 11.2% | 20.7% | 18.3% |
| Oppose | 19.8% | 22.8% | 25.7% | 13.2% |
| Strongly oppose | 25.0% | 46.4% | 21.1% | 9.7% |
| I don’t know | 4.0% | 4.3% | 3.4% | 4.3% |
That support for ending birthright citizenship is low does not mean that it is not a good policy. Because it is likely that any attempt to end birthright citizenship will end up in the courts, public opinion will be less important anyway. That the court battle will most likely be lengthy allows plenty of time to raise public support for this policy. And forcing the Democrats to double down on immigration extremism may help build support among Independents and Republicans.
More importantly, a recent Economist/YouGov poll found that 57% of all Americans and even 45% of Hispanics were in favor of ending birthright citizenship. This stark disparity in results is probably explained by that poll using the term “anchor baby” while our poll used the term “birthright citizenship” because it is more neutral and accurate. Anchor babies are more about manipulating birthright citizenship to obtain citizenship or residency for illegal immigrant parents. However, even though we briefly explained birthright citizenship, voters may have had trouble understanding it as it is more of a technical term. Thus, policy makers may want to use the term “anchor baby” and explain that birthright citizenship is being abused through anchor babies when it was originally intended to stamp out any loopholes for slavery.
We surveyed several other policies that would synergize well with Trump’s plans for deportations and ending birth right citizenship. The most popular of these other policies were targeting NGOs and attorneys who facilitate immigration fraud:
| Q.19 What is your opinion on criminally prosecuting NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that facilitate illegal immigration for conspiracy to violate federal immigration laws? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 36.8% | 10.7% | 39.7% | 63.0% |
| Support | 26.5% | 29.1% | 31.8% | 27.1% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 13.7% | 25.8% | 17.6% | 4.5% |
| Oppose | 6.5% | 15.6% | 5.4% | 2.1% |
| Strongly oppose | 8.5% | 18.9% | 5.4% | 3.3% |
| I don’t know | 8.0% | 13.1% | 9.2% | 5.1% |
| Q.20 What is your opinion on disbarring and prosecuting attorneys who aid or advise their clients to commit immigration fraud? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 42.1% | 17.6% | 40.2% | 68.5% |
| Support | 28.8% | 32.9% | 37.4% | 22.9% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 11.7% | 22.0% | 14.2% | 4.4% |
| Oppose | 6.1% | 12.9% | 5.3% | 2.1% |
| Strongly oppose | 6.1% | 14.5% | 2.8% | 2.1% |
| I don’t know | 5.2% | 8.2% | 6.1% | 2.6% |
63.3% of all respondents, 90.1% of Republicans, 71.5% of Independents, and even 39.8% of Democrats support prosecuting NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration for conspiracy to violate federal immigration laws. 70.9% of all respondents, 91.4% of Republicans, 77.6% of Independents, and even 50.5% of Democrats support prosecuting and disbarring attorneys who facilitate immigration fraud.
Moreover, many Republicans and Independents answered that they strongly support these policies which indicates much stronger emotional intensity than is usual. Even more Democrats support these two policies than oppose them. This is probably driven in part by the American electorate’s sense of law and order. Thus, there is no reason why they shouldn’t be implemented.
Along with being electorally popular these policies would be highly effective. NGOs are notorious for agitating migrant caravans. Moreover, immigration fraud has become rampant with many illegal immigrants throwing away their documents before crossing , claiming to be minors , or vacationing in the countries they claim to be fleeing from . There are numerous attorneys who smugly pat themselves on the back for doing pro bono work on behalf of “fakuegees.” It is one thing to believe in and advocate for your client, and quite another thing to continuously and systematically advance claims that are devoid of merit.
There was also widespread support for only counting actual citizens and legal residents under the US Census.
| Q.16 The US Census is used to allocate Electoral College votes and Congressional seats. Illegal immigrants are currently counted as “citizens” under the US Census. This naturally leads to states with large numbers of illegal immigrants having more representation in the Electoral College and Congress. What is your opinion on only counting actual citizens and legal residents in the US Census? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 45.2% | 11.2% | 49.4% | 70.2% |
| Support | 20.0% | 27.5% | 22.2% | 12.3% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 12.6% | 26.8% | 8.8% | 4.0% |
| Oppose | 9.3% | 17.0% | 8.8% | 2.9% |
| Strongly oppose | 9.4% | 12.3% | 6.9% | 8.6% |
| I don’t know | 3.5% | 5.1% | 3.8% | 2.0% |
65.2% of all respondents, 82.5% of Republicans, 71.6% of Independents, and even 38.7% of Democrats support an end to counting illegals under the US Census. That even more Democrats support than oppose this policy means that it would be an easy case to make to the general public. And along with being an easy case to make, it would also be highly effective as it would diminish the number of Electoral College votes and Congressional seats of states that favor open borders.
55.4% of all respondents, 85.7% of Republicans, 55.1% of Independents, and 18.9% of Democrats support ending government funding to colleges that admit illegal immigrants or provide financial aid to non-citizens:
| Q.21 What is your opinion on ending government funding to colleges that admit illegal immigrants or provide financial aid to non-citizens? | ||||
| Results by Party | ||||
| % | Democrats | Independents | Republicans | |
| Strongly support | 34.8% | 6.2% | 33.3% | 59.9% |
| Support | 20.6% | 12.7% | 21.8% | 25.8% |
| Neither support nor oppose | 11.7% | 15.9% | 14.2% | 6.3% |
| Oppose | 15.6% | 29.3% | 17.6% | 2.9% |

As of August 2024, approximately 1.9% of US college students are “undocumented.” Furthermore, if many colleges have favorable tuition rates for residents of their states, it makes sense that citizens should not have their financial aid diluted by giving it to non-citizens. This is important because competition for college seats and financial aid is a zero-sum game. If foreigners come here to learn, they should do so legally and pay their own way—if they do so at all.
California’s Prop 187 sought to deny non-emergency services to illegal immigrants. Despite its electoral popularity and success, a federal judge nonetheless struck down Prop 187 on the grounds that the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to immigration. Much like the original Prop 187, a federal version of Prop 187 was also popular:
| Q.15 In 1994, 58.9% of Californian voters voted “Yes” on Prop 187. Prop 187 would have denied non-emergency government services to illegal immigrants. However, a federal judge struck down Prop 187 on the grounds that it infringed on the federal government’s exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to immigration. What is your opinion on passing a federal law that would deny non-emergency government services to illegal immigrants? | ||||

| I don’t know | 5.7% | 8.7% | 6.1% | 3.4% |
51.1% of all respondents, 73.1% of Republicans, 53.7% of Independents, and 21.8% of Democrats would support a federal version of Prop 187. Furthermore, liberals cannot have it both ways. If the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to immigration, then a federal version of Prop 187 could deny not just federal services and benefits to illegal immigrants, but also forbid state governments from providing non-emergency services to illegal immigrants, even if those services are entirely funded and provided for by the states.

More respondents oppose rather than support ending ESL classes. However, these classes undoubtedly cost the tax payer money and are pandering to second and even third generation immigrants who refuse to assimilate.

That some of these policies are less popular than others does not necessarily mean that they shouldn’t be enacted. It means that immigration skeptics must convince the public that such policies are justified. Concerns about electoral viability should be allayed given that most voters are primarily concerned with the economy, and if tough immigration policies improve their bottom line, they will be happy. However, these policies should enacted sooner rather than latter so that voters can begin to reap the rewards as soon as possible.
Key Takeaways
- About the same or slightly more people are hearing about the Great Replacement. However, that has not corresponded to a rising agreement with the Great Replacement Theory.
- Respondents are much more likely to agree that Republicans are being replaced instead of whites, probably because they have been conditioned to be blind to race and/or identify more with their party than their race.
- There has been a rise in people hearing about the Great Replacement through X, formerly known as Twitter.
- Half of white Republicans would at least somewhat agree with a candidate proposing policies to preserve the white majority.
- Support for mass deportations of illegal immigrants is high, but not for using the military to carry them out.
- Proponents of ending birthright citizenship should use the term “anchor baby” and emphasize how anchor babies are used to exploit birthright citizenship.
- Support is extremely high for targeting NGOs and attorneys who facilitate immigration fraud.
- Support is high for not counting illegal immigrants under the US Census, for denying federal funding to colleges that have illegal students or that give financial aid to non-citizens, and for enacting a federal version of California’s Prop 187.
- Support was not high for only printing government documents in English, and very low for ending ESL classes or adopting a “net zero” immigration policy.

Where we were in 1965:
White: 83.5%
Black: 10.9%
Hispanic: 4.1%
Asian: 0.9%
Other: 0.6%
Where we are in 2024:
White: 60.2%
Black: 12.2%
Hispanic: 18.2%
Asian: 5.9%
Other: 3.5%
Where we would be if the Hart-Celler Act was never passed:
White: 79.3%
Black: 11%
Hispanic: 6.5%
Asian: 1.7%
Other: 1.5%
Whites would have only lost 4.2% of the USA majority through reduced fertility rates and increased race mixing. Instead, we have lost almost 24% of the majority. This cannot happen on higher birth rates alone for 59 years — it’s overwhelmingly the result of immigration
Excellent information. I think we should never add theory to the end of The Great Replacement. No need to plant that seed.
I wonder if questions about the future are worth asking. For example:
“It is estimated that White people will be only X% of the population by 2060. White people are the only group not a protected class and are increasingly vilified and scapegoated. Are you concerned that your grandchildren and great grandchildren will have to live through that reality?”
Questions forcing people to think through the coming reality not only can reveal information they can effectively act as propaganda that may jar some people into having a healthy fear for the looming future.
“45.2% of Republicans, 25.3% of Independents, and 9% of Democrats said it was at least somewhat important, compared to 51.2%, 23.1%, and 14.8% last year. The dramatic drop in the percentage of Democrats that agree…”
The ‘drama’ is more on the Repub side: down six points & no longer the majority. For Dems to also go down six points but from a measly fifteen points to a pitiful nine is not even worth bothering about.
Great stuff as usual. Is there sex-stratified data available for this survey? I didn’t see any in this article or in the poll summary released on the Homeland Institute’s website.
