Summary
A poll by the New York Times and Siena University found that 61 percent of voters oppose building data centers (large facilities that store and process data) to power AI technology, with only 14 percent strongly supporting them. Support and opposition were split fairly evenly among Trump voters, while Harris voters and non-voters leaned more toward opposing data center construction.
