The survey reveals Republicans' opposition has also hardened—42% now say data centers harm quality of life, up from 24% in January—though Democrats remain more negative overall. Rural Americans show the sharpest increases in opposition (environment: 32% to 50%), and most planned data centers target rural areas.
“More than half of Americans (54%) now say data centers are mostly bad for the environment, up from 39% in January.”
