A growing majority of U.S. voters view the expansion of tech company data centers with skepticism, with over half believing such projects will harm the country overall. Opposition is even stronger at the local level, as two-thirds of respondents explicitly reject new construction in their own communities. The findings highlight a deepening divide between tech industry growth and public concerns over its impact. The data suggests rising unease over infrastructure development and its perceived consequences for neighborhoods and national interests.
Fifty-eight percent of U.S. voters say the construction of new data centers by tech will mostly have a negative effect on the country. And 65% of voters oppose construction in their communities.
