A year ago, when Heatmap surveyed registered voters across the country and asked whether they would support the construction of a data center near where they lived, the response was genuinely mixed — 44 percent said they’d support such a project, and 42 percent said they’d oppose it. But when the survey was repeated in February, the contrast was stark: 52 percent were now opposed, and only 28 percent supportive. The net approval of data centers had dropped 24 points in a year. That’s more ground than Donald Trump has lost, in what is now widely considered a catastrophic year for his popularity (not to mention the health of the democratic project).
Thrilled to see our exclusive Heatmap polling (and @jael.bsky.social’s reporting) get featured so prominently in @dwallacewells.bsky.social’s column today: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/o...

A tax economist put his entire life savings into a prediction market bet that DOGE wouldn’t cut spending.
His wife read the Kalshi comments from the people on the other side and grew *more* confident because “they didn’t seem to understand what they were buying.”
