A Majority of Americans (62%) Believe Breaking Up Major U.S. Tech Companies Will Put the United States at a Competitive Disadvantage vs. Adversaries like China, 72% are Concerned about Foreign Countries Surpassing the U.S. in Artificial Intelligence

WASHINGTON: TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation economy CEOs and senior executives, today released the results of a survey in partnership with Echelon Insights conducted April 4-7, 2025, that reveals most Americans believe that breaking up U.S. tech companies will put the United States at a competitive disadvantage against our adversaries like China, raise costs for consumers, make America less secure, and slow American innovation. The survey also reveals that American tech products are enjoyed by virtually all American voters, and that 72% of respondents are concerned about foreign countries surpassing the U.S. in artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies.

Key Findings:

  • A majority of Americans (62%) believe breaking up major U.S. tech companies will put the United States at a competitive disadvantage vs. adversaries like China.
  • 72% are concerned about foreign countries surpassing the U.S. in artificial intelligence.
  • Most American voters (95%) find the products and services offered by American tech companies useful, compared with just 3% who don’t.
  • Just 25% of voters (and just 9% of Republicans) support continuing Biden administration efforts to break up American tech companies. An even smaller portion (6%) think pursuing antitrust lawsuits against technology companies should be a top priority of the Trump administration — the lowest proportion of any answer option.
  • Most respondents (by a 53-point margin) believe there are more important priorities than breaking up tech companies, like securing the border and controlling inflation.
  • By a 15-point margin (43% to 28%), voters said that they would be less likely to vote for a candidate that supports breaking up major American tech companies.

Methodology:

TechNet partnered with Echelon Insights to conduct a nationally representative, self-reported survey of American voters’ attitudes concerning the American tech industry, business environment, and global competitiveness.

This survey was fielded online April 4-7, 2025, in English among a sample of N=2,020 voters in the Likely Electorate (LE) nationwide using non-probability sampling. The sample was drawn from the Lucid sample exchange and matched to the L2 voter file.

The sample was weighted to reflect modeled turnout and demographic characteristics of the population of voters in the 2024 likely electorate based on a probabilistic model derived from the L2 voter file and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey demographic data adjusted to match voter registration estimates from the November 2020 Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement. Weighting dimensions included gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, region, party, and voting history.

Data quality measures included the use of trap questions to check for attentiveness and measures to prevent and remove duplicate responses based on IP address and voter file matches. Calculated the way it would be for a random sample and adjusted to incorporate the effect of weighting, the margin of sampling error is +/- 2.5 percentage points.
