Crypto industry poll touts benefits of its top Hill priority
More than half of Americans say they would feel more protected if Congress passes the cryptocurrency industry’s top legislative priority, per the poll.
A recent poll conducted by Focaldata on behalf of cryptocurrency company Coinbase reveals that more than half of Americans believe they would feel safer if Congress passes the industry's top legislative priority. The poll indicates that 36% of respondents, including 38% of likely Democratic voters and 41% of likely Republican voters, would be more inclined to support a candidate who advocates for the bill overhauling regulation of the crypto industry.
Like other recent polls, half of voters remain neutral or uncertain about the issue, while only 14% would be less likely to back a candidate who backs the bill. As Democrats circulate polling on primary voters' negative perceptions of crypto, pollster John Anzalone notes that while being against the bill may not help a Democratic candidate in a primary, it could potentially cost them in the general election.
Anzalone explains that while primary voters' intensity on the issue may not be enough to make a difference, the general election intensity is significant, as demonstrated by the poll results.
