But they have people — and they're getting more every year. - The new data released last week and analyzed by Axios show the fastest-growing places since 2020 are concentrated on the extreme outer edges of major metropolitan areas. - This will affect congressional apportionment, federal funding formulas,…
Data: Axios/Harris Poll; Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios Democrats have become more skeptical of AI technology and the industry behind it, while Republicans are significantly more likely to trust most AI companies, according to this year's Axios Harris Poll 100 rankings .
