QAnon may finally have a champion in Congress with the addition of Marjorie Taylor Greene, but luckily for the rest of us, the ranks of the conspiracy theory's believers, already much smaller than people had supposed, has plummeted since the storming of the Capitol Building last month.
A new poll from Morning Consult found that even as more of the country has learned about QAnon in the past winter, far fewer of those who are familiar with it support it.
Whereas 24% of respondents polled back in October said QAnon was "very" or "somewhat" accurate based on what they know note that that includes many respondents who also reported knowing nothing or very little about QAnon only 18% say so now. That's specifically because of a loss of support among the minority of Trump supporters who had ever heard of QAnon, let alone adhered to it.
One prediction that a majority of both Hillary and Trump voters made was that Biden's election wouldn't diminish QAnon support. They seem to have been wrong. But it's also worth noting that prior to Jan. 6, belief in such kookery was not taken to be something malicious or dangerous. It was one thing for bored wine-moms to casually consider QAnon a positive force when most people's conception of it came from Facebook meme claiming Trump was cracking down on pedophilia. But now that people have seen the violent logical conclusion of its thesis, including the murder of a cop, those not actively committed to it seem to be jumping ship.
