The activation of populist attitudes is an essential prerequisite for populist attitudes to significantly shape voting behaviour. We argue that economic hardship and democratic downswing induced by covid pandemic are sufficient short-term factors for their further activation, and thus translate into the stronger effect of populist attitudes on electoral support for populist parties among individuals with worsened perception of economic conditions and among individuals whose support for democracy has decreased. Drawing on the panel data from our public opinion survey (N = 1 181), we test this assumption within the Czech context at the beginning of the second wave of the covid pandemic. While our results indicate that populist attitudes are a prominent predictor of electoral support within the Czech context, we do not find enough support for the moderating effect of either changes in subjective evaluations of economic conditions or changes in support for democracy.
