Republicans face a potential political liability over tax breaks for technology companies, as voters weigh the costs and consequences of the AI boom ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. In a poll conducted last week by PF Global, 47% of respondents said Republicans were more likely to give tax incentives to big tech companies. That was more than twice the 21% who associated Democrats with those breaks. The survey also found voters more likely to favor candidates proposing to strip tax incentives from data centers, the facilities that supply computing capacity for the expansion of artificial intelligence. The findings come amid growing public concern about AI and the spread of large data-center developments. The poll points to a tension for lawmakers: tax incentives are often defended as tools to attract investment and economic activity, but voters may be less willing to support subsidies for powerful technology firms as data centers expand. The survey details provided did not include its sample size, margin of error or the precise level of support for ending the incentives.
