Americans — Especially Democrats, High Earners and the Highly Educated — Are Warming Up to Automation

• 25% of U.S. adults said they think the rise of automation will increase job opportunities in the country, up from 20% in a May 2018 poll, while the share of those who think it will reduce jobs fell 11 percentage points to 48% over the same time period.
• Democrats (34%), those who make over $100,000 per year (42%) and people with graduate degrees (43%) are 14, 17 and 12 percentage points, respectively, more likely now to think automation will increase job opportunities in this country compared to three years ago.
• Republicans, adults earning less than $50,000 annually and those without a college degree are much more likely to say automation will decrease job opportunities in the United States.
