A new poll reveals that 73 percent of Trump voters think that Democrats are trying to replace white Americans with immigrants and people of color to gather more votes.

The so-called "Great Replacement Theory" was mentioned by an 18-year-old white gunman who shot 10 black people at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y. weeks ago.

A new YouGov poll asked voters: "Do you personally believe that in the U.S., Democrats are trying to replace white Americans with immigrants and people of color who share Democrats’ views?"

Seventy-three percent of Trump voters replied "yes," while 8 percent of Biden voters said the same. Overall, 61 percent of Republicans, 10 percent of Democrats, and 33 percent of Independents replied yes to the question.

The survey also questioned: "Do you personally believe that in the U.S., Jewish people are trying to replace white Americans with immigrants and people of color who share Jewish people’s views?"

Only 12 percent of Trump voters replied "yes," as did 7 percent of Biden voters.

On Wednesday, House Democrats led by Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., introduced a resolution to denounce the theory formally.

Top Democrats including Bowman, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and others held a news conference Wednesday afternoon to address their efforts to curb it.

"Nazi thinking veiled as political banter can no longer go unrecognized," Bowman told reporters outside the Capitol.

He stressed the theory's popular polling: "These are no longer fringe elements of our society. Great Replacement Theory has gone mainstream thanks to right-wing Republicans like Tucker Carlson who has mentioned this theory more than 400 times."

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., was criticized for campaign ads that critics say have echoed the theory.

In Stefanik's ads, which appeared on Facebook, Joe Biden was seen wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses, with scores of migrants pictured in their reflection walking toward him.

Stefanik's ad text said "Democrats are planning their most aggressive move yet: a PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION."

"Their plan to grant amnesty to 11 MILLION illegal immigrants will overthrow our current electorate and create a permanent liberal majority in Washington," the ad continues on to say.
