U.S. voters placed cryptocurrencies toward the bottom of a list of their highest priorities for the upcoming midterm election.

Just 1% of respondents said they ranked crypto as their top concern, according to a survey of 1,000 randomly selected registered U.S. voters, though other responses revealed a wider view of the technology as an important political issue.

The survey was conducted near the end of April by Public Opinion Strategies on CoinDesk’s behalf, as part of CoinDesk’s coverage of the 2026 U.S. midterm election. The survey was evenly split between Republican and Democrat respondents (41% of respondents identified with each party to some degree), with a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.53%.
