A new poll has shed light on the priorities of US voters, revealing that only a small minority consider crypto policy when deciding who to vote for.
The survey, conducted by Politico and Public First, found that 4% of respondents said they would weigh a political candidate's stance on crypto policy in their decision. In contrast, affordable housing, consumer fraud protection, and lower bank fees were among the top issues mentioned by voters.
The results show a significant divide between the average American voter's priorities and those of crypto industry lobbyists, who have been pushing Congress to pass crypto legislation ahead of the midterm elections. According to data compiled by researcher Molly White, crypto lobbies have poured over $130 million into the 2024 elections, making it the most-funded industry in this regard.
