Most voters have a strong gut reaction to AI, and for the biggest group, it’s anger, not fear. In this special episode of the Cygnal Pulse Pod, Founder & CEO Brent Buchanan and Senior Partner John Rogers break down our October survey of 1,500 likely general election voters. Voters expect AI to make 10 of 11 areas of life worse, 72% say it’s moving too fast (including 61% of Republicans), and a data center that meets every condition we tested still loses 51–38 in voters’ own counties. Brent and John explain who voters think wins and loses from AI, why the “win the race” message falls flat, and what AI and data center companies need to do to earn public trust.
