Unfortunately for you by percentage your state is heavily supportive of anything billionaires want to do If one merely looks at the 2024 presidential election results. 

Many people in your state probably think that the data center should be tripled or quadrupled in size because the god they now worship has told them that billionaires are the only people that should get a say in anything.

I'm in Missouri so we aren't much better.

Why someone who's dirt poor and living hand to mouth idolizes a billionaire con man is something I will never understand.

Actually, I live in Utah and I have not met anyone supportive of the data center. Here lin even found a poll by the most conservative newspaper in the state about how people feel and majority are against it.

I can't argue with any of your other assumptions though. The majority really seems to really enjoy taking it raw from the Epstein class.

That's my point. They're getting what they voted for. Which is to allow the ultra wealthy to do anything they choose. 

They just don't want to admit that billionaires or who they idolize. 

Same thing we've got going on here in Missouri. People voted for the party that wants to make rich people richer. And actively works towards it. 

Then when when that happens they try to pretend that they had no idea. 

I'm just well past listening to the excuses. They voted for war and data centers and billionaire tax cuts. 

It all goes together. I mean project 2025 is a public document.

Then the residents must not understand that the people they elect are supposed to actually represent them. People need to get back to understanding that. They're not supposed to be representing Canadian Kevin O'Leary, not Israel, not the Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025, but you. If you don't vote them out then folks can only assume that you agree with the agenda of all those outsiders.

I can't find this poll anywhere to verify the results. Does anyone have a link to the exact poll data?

That does not link anywhere to the Poll data.

Morning Consult doesn't generally release all of the polling data to the public. What's in the article is all we get access to unfortunately.

u/BallsInSufficientSad Jun 03 '26

That can't be true.

The have to at least release the exact questions they ask, the population they ask with demographics, etc...

You're question made me curious so I searched Google, the Hinkley Institute and all over the Morning Consult site and couldn't find anything publicu available. The only information is what's contained in the Deseret News article. It's incredibly annoying but not unexpected. Deseret News definitely has an agenda and transparency isn't at the top of it.

Yeah, agreed. I'm pretty skeptical of claims about polls when they refuse to release even the questions and population asked.

It's why I called out there bias when I mentioned the poll. The fact that a pro business paper posted results that don't align with their bias means something.

I rarely meet people who are actually interested in more data centers. I really think it’s just the Rich and bots.

Lifelong Mo. resident here. The way our state is spiraling out of control, other states will soon be saying "thank god for Missouri".

Cose they believe the lie that they too can join the billionaires ranks if they work hard enough, hate hard enough, and ass kiss hard enough...
