许多美国人对在自家附近建设数据中心持怀疑态度，这主要源于他们认为数据中心会对环境和资源造成负面影响。
近年来，美国的数据中心建设速度有所加快，但大多数美国人表示自己对数据中心并不十分了解。
民众对数据中心缺乏了解，加剧了他们对本地建设数据中心的不安情绪。无论受访者自认为对数据中心了解多少，他们大多都不支持在本地建设数据中心；而自认为对数据中心了解越少的人，支持本地建设数据中心的可能性就越低。
总体而言，反对在自家附近新建数据中心的美国人比例超过支持方的两倍以上，还有不少人对此不确定。
仅有相对少数的16%受访者表示自己对数据中心“了解很多”，他们能够看到本地建设数据中心的一些潜在好处，但即便如此，反对在本地建设数据中心的人数仍多于支持者。
（那些自称对数据中心“一无所知”的受访者，大多对本地建设数据中心持不确定态度。）
对于美国是否需要建设更多数据中心以保持在科技和人工智能领域的竞争力，美国民众大体上存在分歧。那些支持在本地建设新数据中心的受访者，绝大多数都认为有必要建设数据中心，才能让美国在国际竞争中占据优势。
认为数据中心对美国竞争力至关重要的共和党人多于民主党人，但和民主党人一样，许多共和党人并不愿意在自家附近建设数据中心。
总体而言，大多数人认为数据中心在建成地区大多会对环境、水和电力等资源以及民众的能源或公用事业成本造成不利影响。
不过也有较为积极的一面：略多的美国人认为，建设数据中心对当地经济和税收收入而言利大于弊。那些预料到这些好处的受访者，支持本地建设数据中心的比例明显高于反对者。
具体到就业岗位方面，半数美国人认为数据中心会在短期内增加本地就业岗位，但认为其能在长期创造就业的人要少得多。
在这些关于数据中心潜在本地影响的问题上，有相当比例的受访者表示“不确定”——这进一步凸显了许多美国人尚未了解数据中心相关事宜。
本次CBS新闻/舆观调查于2026年6月2日至4日期间进行，受访样本为具有全国代表性的2023名美国成年人。根据美国人口普查局美国社区调查和当前人口调查，以及2024年总统选举投票结果，样本按性别、年龄、种族和教育程度进行了加权，以确保能够代表全国成年人。调查的误差范围为±2.8个百分点。
More oppose than favor data centers in their area, but few admit knowing a lot about them, CBS News poll finds

Many Americans are skeptical about having a data center in their area, fueled largely by what they perceive as negative impacts on the environment and resources.
The construction of data centers in the U.S. has accelerated in recent years, but most Americans feel they don’t know a lot about them yet.
People’s own lack of familiarity with data centers contributes to their unease about having one in their local area. While people tend not to favor them no matter how much they feel they know, the less they feel they know about data centers, the less likely they are to favor one.
Overall, by more than two to one, more Americans oppose than favor having a new data center built in their area. Many aren’t sure.
The relatively few — 16% — who feel they know “a lot” see some potential upsides of having one locally, but more of them still oppose one than support one in their local area, anyway.
(Those who report knowing “nothing” about data centers are mostly unsure about having one in their area.)
The country is generally divided on whether more data centers are necessary for the U.S. to remain competitive in the fields of technology and AI. Those who would favor a new data center in their area overwhelmingly think they are necessary for the U.S. to compete with other countries.
More Republicans than Democrats think data centers are needed for competitiveness, but many of them, like Democrats, aren’t sold on having one in the area where they live.
Overall, majorities believe data centers are mostly bad for the environment, for resources like water and electricity, and for people’s energy or utility costs in the areas where they are built.
On a more positive note, slightly more Americans think the building of data centers is good, rather than bad, for both the local economy and for tax revenue. People who anticipate these benefits are more inclined to favor than oppose a data center in their area.
And on jobs specifically, half of Americans see data centers as boosting the number of jobs where they are built in the short term, but far fewer think that will be true in the long term.
On these questions about potential local impacts, sizable percentages say they are “not sure” — underscoring that these matters surrounding data centers are not yet familiar to many Americans.
This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,023 U.S. adults interviewed between June 2-4, 2026. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as well as 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is ±2.8 points.
