Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for October 2, 2019
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
October 2, 2019: When it comes to the use of new technology in general, 23% fear the federal government more than tech companies. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey found that 20% are more afraid of tech companies while 37% are equally afraid of both. Just 12% are not afraid of either group.[1]
Republicans are a bit more fearful of tech companies while Democrats are more fearful of the federal government. Given a wide range of other polling data, it is likely those dynamics would shift with a Democrat in the White House.
