随着人工智能在中期选举前日益政治化，最新的福克斯新闻全国民调显示，选民难以调和该技术的承诺与其运行所需数据中心带来的经济和环境成本。
他们尤其反对在自己的社区建设数据中心，但支持在偏远地区建设，形成了“不要建在我家后院”的态势。
71%的多数选民反对在本地区建设人工智能数据中心，其中46%的人强烈反对。这两个数字自今年初夏以来略有上升。然而，民调揭示了一个矛盾：52%的多数选民支持在偏远地区建设数据中心（44%的人反对）。
福克斯新闻民调：受成本挤压、心怀不满的选民转向民主党

这种核心反差在不同社区类型中均有体现，约七成城市、郊区和农村选民反对在自家后院建设数据中心。但对于偏远地区的设施，这种共识不复存在。一半的城市选民（50%）和多数郊区选民（57%）支持在当地建设，而51%的农村选民仍然反对。
女性、白人选民、未受过大学教育的选民以及民主党选民，比男性、非白人选民、大学毕业生和共和党选民更有可能反对在社区附近或其他地方建设数据中心。
当被问及支持和反对建设数据中心的理由时，选民的反应存在细微差别。如果被告知数据中心可能会加剧当地供水紧张（下降28个百分点）、推高能源账单（下降29个百分点）或规模变得过于庞大（下降29个点），选民支持建设的可能性会降低约30个百分点。

当选民看到对日常生活或国家利益的直接好处时，反对声音会有所缓和。如果被告知数据中心对于流媒体和银行业务等在线活动（提升9个百分点）、交通和供水系统等关键基础设施（提升13个百分点），或是帮助维持对中国等国家的竞争优势（提升18个百分点）必不可少，选民支持建设的可能性会更高。
这些对额外信息的反应，是在人工智能悲观情绪的背景下发生的。多数选民更倾向于认为人工智能对美国经济（54%认为负面，36%认为正面）、心理健康（54%对34%）、社会（56%对34%）、环境（60%对30%）和就业岗位（63%对29%）弊大于利。
唯一的例外是日常生活领域，更多选民认为人工智能是件好事，差距为4个百分点（47%认为正面，43%认为负面），较2025年11月的11个百分点差距（50%对39%）有所收窄。

总体而言，人工智能技术的负面评价比正面评价高出23个百分点（37%好评，60%差评），较4月的11个百分点和7月的9个百分点的负面差距进一步扩大。背后的人口统计模式与数据中心的情况一致。民主党选民（67%差评）、未受过大学教育的白人选民（65%）、女性（64%）和无党派选民（64%）的负面看法最为强烈。最正面的评价来自非白人男性（49%好评）、拥有研究生学历的选民（49%）和“让美国再次伟大”的共和党选民（46%）。

人工智能与2026年中期选举
在国会众议院通用席位的民意调查中，民主党候选人整体领先共和党7个百分点。支持在本社区建设数据中心的选民中，共和党优势为21个百分点，在仅支持在偏远地区建设的选民中，这一优势缩小至9个百分点。反对在任何地点建设数据中心的选民中，民主党领先至少19个百分点。
看好人工智能的选民以7个百分点的优势支持本选区的共和党候选人，而对人工智能持负面看法的选民则以17个百分点的优势支持民主党候选人。
“在本次选举中，归根结底，技术不再只是一种工具。它是一个分裂性议题，”与民主党人克里斯·安德森共同开展福克斯新闻民调的共和党民调专家达伦·肖说道。“随着基础设施需求迫使人工智能进入实体世界，将科技焦虑映射到选民群体的竞选活动，将塑造中期选举的叙事。”
选民认为民主党能更好地处理人工智能数据中心建设的比例领先14个百分点。这一优势在黑人选民中尤为明显（民主党领先51个百分点）、30岁以下选民（领先35个百分点）、西班牙裔选民（领先29个百分点）和无党派选民（领先26个百分点）。在白人选民中这一优势缩小至5个百分点，在农村选民中为7个百分点，而白人农村选民是少数几个认为共和党会做得更好的群体（共和党领先4个百分点）。跨党派倒戈也对民主党有利：15%的共和党人更信任民主党在数据中心问题上的处理，而仅有4%的民主党人更信任共和党。
其他几点……
四分之三的选民（76%）支持在幼儿园至八年级的课堂上禁止使用人工智能，其中妈妈群体对禁令的支持度最高（81%）。

支持在K-12课堂上禁止使用手机的比例也很高：72%的人支持该政策，25%的人反对。
此外，多数选民支持禁止警方部门使用自动车牌识别系统，例如Flock Safety监控摄像头（57%支持，39%反对）。
年龄是最大的分歧因素。30岁以下的选民以28个百分点的优势支持禁止车牌识别摄像头，而65岁及以上的选民则以7个百分点的优势支持该设备。两党选民在禁止该摄像头问题上表现出罕见的一致，只是支持力度不同：民主党以27个百分点支持禁令，无党派选民以23个百分点支持，共和党以6个百分点支持。
本次民调于2026年9月11日至14日开展，由Beacon Research（民主党）和Shaw & Company Research（共和党）指导完成，调查对象为从全国选民档案中随机抽取的1211名登记选民。受访者通过固定电话（96人）、手机（821人）接受现场访谈，或在收到短信后在线完成调查（294人）。基于全样本的调查误差幅度为±3个百分点。子群体样本的抽样误差更高。除抽样误差外，问题措辞和顺序也会影响调查结果。通常会对年龄、种族、教育程度和地区变量进行加权处理，以确保人口统计数据能代表登记选民群体。权重目标的制定依据包括最新的美国社区调查、福克斯新闻选民分析和选民档案数据。

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly politicized ahead of the midterm elections, the latest Fox News national survey finds voters struggling to reconcile the technology’s promise with the economic and environmental costs of the data centers needed to power it.
They are especially against allowing centers in their communities while favoring them in remote locations, creating a “Not In My Backyard” dynamic.
A 71% majority opposes building AI data centers in their area, including 46% who strongly oppose them. Both of those numbers are up a touch since earlier this summer. However, the survey reveals a paradox: a 52% majority favors building them in remote locations (44% oppose).
FOX NEWS POLL: SQUEEZED BY COSTS, FRUSTRATED VOTERS TURN TO THE DEMOCRATS

The central contrast is seen across community types, as about 7 in 10 urban, suburban and rural voters oppose data centers in their backyards. That consensus fades regarding remote facilities. Half of urban voters (50%) and a majority of suburban voters (57%) favor building them there, while 51% of rural voters remain opposed.
Women, White voters, those without a college degree and Democrats are more likely than men, non-White voters, college graduates and Republicans to oppose data centers, whether near their community or elsewhere.
When presented with arguments for and against data centers, reactions are nuanced. By roughly 30 points, voters are less likely to support construction if told data centers could strain local water supplies (by 28 points), raise energy bills (29 points) or grow to an enormous size (29 points).

Opposition softens when voters see direct benefits to daily life or national interests. They are more likely to be supportive if told data centers are necessary for online activities such as streaming and banking (9 points), critical infrastructure like transportation and water systems (13 points) or to help maintain a competitive edge over countries like China (18 points).
These reactions to additional information operate against a backdrop of AI pessimism. Majorities of voters are more likely to see AI as bad rather than good for the U.S. economy (54% bad vs. 36% good), mental health (54-34%), society (56-34%), the environment (60-30%) and jobs (63-29%).
The lone exception is day-to-day life, where more voters say AI is a good thing by 4 points (47% good, 43% bad), down from an 11-point spread in November 2025 (50-39%).

Overall, AI technology is viewed more negatively than positively by 23 points (37% favorable vs. 60% unfavorable), widening from an 11-point deficit in April and 9 points in July. The underlying demographic patterns mirror those for data centers. Democrats (67% unfavorable), White voters without a college degree (65%), women (64%) and independents (64%) are the most negative. The most favorable views come from non-White men (49% favorable), voters with graduate degrees (49%) and MAGA Republicans (46%).

AI & The 2026 Midterms
On the generic congressional ballot, the Democratic candidate is ahead of the Republican by 7 points overall. Republicans have a 21-point advantage among voters who support building data centers in their communities, narrowing to 9 points among those allowing construction only in remote areas. Democrats are ahead by at least 19 points among voters who oppose data centers in either location.
Voters who view AI favorably back the Republican candidate in their district by 7 points, while those with unfavorable views back the Democrat by 17 points.
“In this election, the bottom line is that technology is no longer just a tool. It’s a wedge issue,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “As infrastructure demands force AI into the physical world, campaigns that map tech anxiety onto their voter coalitions will shape the midterm narrative.”
Voters think Democrats would better handle building AI data centers by a 14-point margin. That lead is especially strong among Black voters (D +51), voters under age 30 (D +35), Hispanic voters (D +29), and independents (D +26). It narrows among White voters (D +5) and rural voters (D +7), while White rural voters are one of the few groups to say Republicans would do better (R +4). Cross-party defections also advantage the Democrats: 15% of Republicans prefer Democrats on data centers, compared with just 4% of Democrats favoring Republicans.
A few more things…
Three-quarters of voters (76%) favor banning AI in kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms, with some of the strongest preference for the ban among moms (81%).

Support for banning cellphones in K-12 classrooms is also high: 72% favor the policy and 25% oppose it.
In addition, a majority supports prohibiting police departments from using automated license plate readers, such as Flock Safety cameras (57% favor vs. 39% oppose).
Age creates the biggest divide. Voters under 30 would ban license plate readers by 28 points, while those 65 and over support them by 7 points. Partisans show unusual agreement on banning the cameras, though by different margins: Democrats by 27 points, independents by 23 points and Republicans by 6 points.
Conducted September 11-14, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,211 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (96) and cellphones (821) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (294). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.
