(Leah, 9-17-20, POLITICO, “Poll: majority of Americans concerned about Big Tech’s economic, political power”, https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/17/big-tech-economic-political-power-poll-417024)

About 65 percent of likely U.S. voters think the economic power held by tech companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook is a problem for the U.S. economy, according to a survey on antitrust and the tech industry to be released Thursday.

The responses: Republican voters were more likely to say they were somewhat or very concerned about the tech firms than those who identify as Democrats or independents.

Seventy percent of the respondents said they think tech companies have too much political power, with Republicans most likely to agree with the statement.

Overall, 56 percent said they would strongly or somewhat support breaking up tech companies to promote competition, compared with 26 percent who said they oppose or strongly oppose such a move and 19 percent who didn’t offer a view.
