A Public First survey of 2,035 U.S. adults found everyday economic concerns rank above crypto policy, with limited voter focus on candidates’ crypto positions as the Senate Banking Committee prepares to vote on the CLARITY Act.
A Public First survey of 2,035 U.S. adults found that U.S. voters place everyday economic concerns far above cryptocurrency policy and regulation. Only 4% said they would base their vote on a candidate’s crypto stance, while 18% said crypto market rules should be a priority for Congress. The poll also found that 45% believe crypto investing is not worth the risk and 19% said they have traded crypto. The findings, released as the Senate Banking Committee prepares to vote on the CLARITY Act, underscore a gap between Washington’s digital asset policy agenda and broader voter priorities, which favor issues such as affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, lower bank fees, inflation, and household costs.
