The article opens with a conceptual discussion, addressing the debate on whether populist attitudes should be defined and measured across two or three dimensions. The study then investigates how populists position themselves on the political spectrum, seeking to determine whether populist attitudes transcend the traditional left–right political divide. Contrary to the general trend observed across European countries, the findings suggest that in Slovenia populist voters are largely situated at the political centre, with populist attitudes showing notable convergence between the centre and the far-right. The critical line dividing these two groups appears in their views on social inequality. The research was conducted online in early 2023Članek obravnava populizem z vidika političnega povpraševanja, pri čemer se osredotoča na analizo populističnih stališč prebivalstva v Sloveniji. Prispevek odpremo s konceptualno razpravo, ki naslavlja vprašanja o tem, kako opredeliti in meriti populistična stališča. V nadaljevanju raziskujemo, kako se populisti umeščajo v slovenski politični prostor in ali presegajo tradicionalno levo-desno politično razlikovanje. Rezultati kažejo, da se bazen populistov v Sloveniji nahaja predvsem v politični sredini, pri čemer prihaja do znatne konvergence stališč med populisti v politični sredini in na skrajni desnici. Ključno ločnico med tema dvema skupinama populistov predstavlja odnos do ekonomskih neenakosti.
