Competitiveness Coalition Releases Survey Data In Nevada

56% of NV Voters Believe That Breaking Up Large Tech Companies Will Lead To Higher Consumer Prices, Immigration Named Top Issue

NEVADA – Today, the Competitiveness Coalition, chaired by former U.S. Senator and Ambassador Scott Brown, released new survey data conducted among likely voters in Nevada. Key findings include:

  • Top three issues for voters include:
    • Immigration (20%)
    • Inflation (19%) 
    • Threats to American democracy (19%)
  • A majority (56%) agree that breaking up large technology companies will result in higher prices for consumers. 
  • Only 1% of voters choose breaking up large technology companies as their top issue.
  • A plurality (40%) say that the Federal Trade Commission going after many American companies will have a negative impact on the economy. 
  • A majority (52%) oppose the Biden Administration targeting companies like Amazon, Apple, and Google with burdensome regulations and lawsuits. 
  • A majority (54%) specifically oppose the Biden Administration’s lawsuit against Amazon. 
  • Nevada voters are concerned about the impact new regulations to break up technology companies could have on their own lives. Voters were relatively evenly divided, with 26% saying Amazon increasing prices and ending free two-day shipping would be their biggest concern, followed by Apple no longer ensuring the safety and security of downloads (25%) and Google removing access to products like Google Maps (18%). Five percent (5%) would be most concerned about Facebook charging to use their app and website, and 23% said none of these would be a concern to them.
  • Donald Trump has a one-point edge on the presidential ballot. Trump receives 46% on the multi-candidate ballot, while Kamala Harris garners 45% of the vote. Seven percent (7%) of voters are backing a third-party candidate, including 5% who back Robert Kennedy Jr. Just 2% are undecided at this point.

“Not only are Nevadans already concerned about inflation and the cost of living, they know that the Biden-Harris regulatory agenda will spike prices even higher,” said Scott Brown, former U.S. Senator and Ambassador and chair of the Competitiveness Coalition. “Despite it all, the Biden FTC remains hellbent on destroying American free enterprise and innovation.”

On behalf of the Competitiveness Coalition, Public Opinion Strategies conducted a survey of N=400 likely voters in Nevada. The survey was conducted July 23-29, 2024 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9%. Surveys were conducted with online panel respondents (N=100) and with text message respondents who were sent a link to complete the survey online to (N=300).

In addition to the Nevada survey, the Coalition released surveys across four other battleground states – Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – which found nearly two-thirds (64%) agree that breaking up large technology companies will result in higher prices for consumers. More information on the surveys across those battleground states can be found here.
