CLARITY Act gains bipartisan voter support in new poll

A new HarrisX survey found growing bipartisan support for the CLARITY Act as the crypto industry intensifies lobbying efforts around digital asset regulation in Washington.

The poll, which surveyed 2,008 registered US voters between May 1 and May 4, found that 52% of respondents supported the proposed crypto market structure legislation while only 11% opposed it.

According to the findings, roughly 47% of voters said they would consider supporting a political candidate outside their preferred party if that candidate backed the CLARITY Act while their own party opposed it.

Support among crypto users was significantly higher, with approximately 72% indicating they could cross party lines over the issue.

Coinbase chief executive Brian Armstrong described the legislation as a “bipartisan, winning issue” following release of the survey results.

Robinhood chief executive Vlad Tenev said momentum was building toward establishing a legislative foundation for American leadership in digital finance.

The HarrisX poll also showed support for the legislation across both major political parties, including backing from Democrats, Republicans and independent voters.

The findings arrive as lawmakers prepare for potential Senate Banking Committee markups on the CLARITY Act, with some industry executives predicting further legislative movement could occur as early as next week.
