A new US opinion poll finds that most Americans think Donald Trump is wrong on an unspecified issue, and many also express concern that AI could pose an existential threat. The Independent and Yahoo UK News both report results indicating that about two-thirds of Americans take issue with Trump’s position.
The polling also shows substantial agreement across party lines on AI risk. The Independent reports that around 70% of people who voted for Democrats in 2024 and about 60% of people who voted for Republicans say AI could potentially threaten the survival of humanity. Together, the results suggest AI is viewed by majorities of both major-party voters as a serious danger, even though the precise question wording and context are not detailed in the provided excerpts.
Across the two outlets, the shared emphasis is the scale of public concern. However, the excerpts do not specify the exact polling organization, the full set of questions, or whether the Trump-related question and the AI risk question are directly connected.
