A new national poll suggests the CLARITY Act is gaining traction with voters across party lines. Conducted by HarrisX, the survey found that support for clearer, federal rules for crypto assets is strong enough to cut through partisan disagreement.
60% Want Imperfect But Clear Federal Crypto LawThe poll also points to a preference for action rather than waiting for a “perfect” solution. Even with tradeoffs on the table, 60% of respondents say they prefer clear federal legislation, even if it is imperfect. And 57% say it is better to pass some legislation now and improve it over time than to wait for a complete or ideal law.
Bipartisan CLARITY BackingIn other words, the crypto bill’s popularity with voters appears to be driven less by familiarity with its contents and more by what voters think should happen more broadly on crypto rules.
Support was also notably bipartisan, according to the survey published on Thursday. Republicans show 48% net support, Democrats show 43%, likely midterm voters show 52%, and independents show 32%.
According to HarrisX, that political effect varies by party. The report says the shift is strongest among Republicans, where 44% say they would be more likely to support a senator who backs the anticipated crypto bill. The effect remains positive among Democrats (37% more likely) and independents (31% more likely).
