堪萨斯州2026年度民调10月26日发布：仅两成居民看好本州经济
海斯堡州立大学多金公共事务研究所（Docking Institute）10月26日发布年度《堪萨斯之声》（Kansas Speaks）民调报告。报告共同作者孙健（Jian Sun）表示：「堪萨斯人对本州经济的评价今年没那么积极了。20.4%的堪萨斯人认为本州经济优秀或非常好，低于2025年的27.7%；48.6%的人觉得本州经济在变差，高于2025年的36.1%。」这项调查以在线方式访问了603名18岁及以上的堪萨斯州成年居民。
对于全国经济，堪萨斯人的评价更低：只有13.1%的人认为全国经济优秀或非常好，63.5%的人觉得全国经济在变差。调查还涉及生活质量、当选官员评价、税收、数据中心等话题。在受访者从13个公共议题中选出的最重要五项里，三项生活成本议题均有超过八成人列入：食品价格（89.5%）、住房成本（86.7%）以及包括汽油和柴油在内的能源成本（82%）。
在政策议题上，2026年支持在堪萨斯州扩大医疗补助（Medicaid）的比例为68%，接近往年约70%的典型水平；69%的受访者支持为全州所有雇员提供带薪家庭与医疗假；65%支持医用大麻合法化，约58%支持娱乐用大麻合法化。研究所所长、报告共同作者布雷特·佐林格（Brett Zollinger）说，今年调查专门询问了数据中心选址问题，在九项常见担忧中排在最前面的三项是能源消耗、用水，以及数据中心所使能的人工智能。
Kansas 2026 Survey Released October 26: Only Two in Ten Residents Rate State Economy Positively
The Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University released its annual Kansas Speaks survey on October 26. "Kansans' rating of the Kansas economy is less positive this year," said survey report co-author Jian Sun. "20.4% of Kansans rate the Kansas economy as excellent or very good, down from 27.7% in 2025. 48.6% feel the Kansas economy is getting worse, up from 36.1% in 2025." The survey polled a panel of 603 adult Kansas residents, ages 18 and older, online.
Kansans rated the national economy much lower than their state economy: only 13.1% rate the national economy as excellent or very good, and 63.5% feel it is getting worse. The survey also covered quality of life, ratings of elected officials, taxation and data centers. From a list of 13 public affairs topics, more than 80% of respondents ranked three cost issues among their top five: the cost of groceries (89.5%), the cost of housing (86.7%) and the cost of energy, including gasoline and diesel (82%).
On policy questions, support for Medicaid expansion in Kansas stood at 68% in 2026, close to the typical 70% of previous years; 69% support providing paid family and medical leave for all employees in Kansas; 65% support legalizing medical marijuana, and about 58% support legalizing recreational marijuana. Institute director Brett Zollinger, also a co-author, said the survey fielded a series of questions on data centers, and of nine common concerns, the top three were energy usage, water usage, and the AI made possible by data centers.
