💡New polling from Data for Progress and WE ACT for Environmental Justice examined likely voters’ favorability of and familiarity with AI data centers: Key Takeaways: - More than 3 in 5 voters (62%) say they have heard “nothing at all” about the construction of these facilities in their state. - The poll finds half (48%) say their local elected officials should be doing more to prevent environmental and health harms from data centers. - After reading more information about data centers, how they function, and the impacts they may have on communities and the environment, we see a 5-point drop in support for data centers among likely voters overall.

It’s not just you. Our new poll with Groundwork Collaborative & Data for Progress finds a bipartisan supermajority of Americans—across education, gender, & age—are drowning in debt just to keep up with rising costs, healthcare, and rent and want ACTION from policymakers. https://lnkd.in/eNsxYnHi

Which of Trump's actions are sparking the most backlash? We asked voters whether they support or oppose recent actions taken by the Trump administration, and also measured their level of concern. The actions with the highest level of opposition AND concern among voters are: - Signing the One Big Beautiful Bill - Laying off Social Security Administration employees - Signing an order to eliminate the Department of Education And Trump’s tariffs and DOGE firings trail closely behind. While the Trump administration’s decision not to release additional files related to Jeffrey Epstein receives the highest level of opposition (65% opposed), it's not something that voters are as concerned about overall.
