• Survey inds 69% of Americans support Bernie Sanders’ policy of requiring AI firms to transfer 50% of their stock to a public fund
• Respondents are also overwhelmingly in favor of giving the federal government the power to block new AI services deemed “risky”
• Support does appear to drop when Sanders' name is mentioned
