The Texas Politics Project polled 1,200 voters from June 5\u201312, 2026, and found 56% were opposed to the construction of a data center in their community. Of those, 42% were strongly opposed. Meanwhile, 29% of those polled said they supported data center construction with 9% saying they strongly supported the idea.<\/p>

The poll comes at a time when local communities are pushing back against the construction of new data centers in Texas and state leaders are questioning their transparency about water and energy usage.<\/p>
