As a party gets more mainstream, so may its voters.
I'm not trying to prove that every last AfD voter does this or that, think about it as a trend. A trend can be accurate even though there are several data points that don't fit.

Und hier gibt es eine übergreifende Gemeinsamkeit: "Der AfD-Wähler ist ein Zukunftsskeptiker, also sehr beunruhigt über die Verhältnisse im Land. Wir sehen eine ausgeprägte Ausländerangst bis Ausländerfeindlichkeit, eine ausgeprägte Islamangst beziehungsweise Islamfeindlichkeit."
Translation: And here there is an overarching similarity: "The AfD-voter is a sceptic of the future, that is, very worried about the state of the country. We see a pronounced fear of foreigners up to hostility towards foreigners, a pronounced fear of islam and accordingly hostility towards islam."

Coming from the guy who conducted some polls on a voting day in Saxony-Anhalt. I'm sure you could come up with some "mights" on why the poll "might" not be representative, but you could also see a trend over all my links that leads to the conclusion that a lot of people vote for the AfD because they simply fear foreigners more than you fear hamburgers.
