All UNH Survey Center Polls
Abstract
Nearly two-thirds of New Hampshire residents believe artificial intelligence will have a negative effect on the country over the next ten years, particularly young people. New Hampshire residents are very pessimistic about the effect of AI on jobs, elections, the cost of utilities, personal relationships, the environment, and the news. Working Granite Staters increasingly report using AI at work, but a majority say it has not affected their work productivity and one in five think it is likely that they will lose their job due to AI within the next ten years. Two-thirds of state residents report using AI in their personal life, but less than half say their overall experience using AI has been positive. Google Gemini is the most popular large language model (LLM) among AI users, but Claude is the highest rated LLM among users. A plurality of New Hampshire residents would support stopping new AI data center construction in the state and two-thirds would oppose building an AI data center in their town or city.
