Responding to recent calls to understand populism as a problem of social integration, this article proposes a network segregation perspective for the study of populism. Specifically, it theorizes that populist voting is shaped by the socioeconomic composition of individuals’ personal networks. Combining cross-national survey data from approximately 18,000 respondents in 19 countries with expert surveys on parties’ populism, empirical analyses suggest that the socioeconomic status of personal network contacts is strongly and robustly associated with populist voting. Across multiple estimators, model specifications, and definitions of populism, we show that while the socioeconomic diversity of personal networks appears unrelated to populist voting, those with ties to higher-status individuals are consistently less likely to vote for populist candidates. Additional analysis shows that the latter association is stronger among higher-status individuals, consistent with an interpretation in which individual and network status are mutually reinforcing. These findings highlight how personal networks can help specify the mechanisms linking socioeconomic processes with populist politics.
