According to a new poll by HarrisX, nearly half of American voters are willing to cross party lines to achieve clear crypto regulation, while public support for the Clarity Act could bring electoral leverage for politicians.
The poll included responses from 2,008 registered voters from May 1 to 4. It found that 52% of respondents supported the Clarification Act, with only 11% opposed.
About half, or 47 percent, said they would consider voting for a candidate outside their preferred party if that candidate supported the bill and their own party did not. Among crypto users, that number rose to 72 percent.
“Passing the Clarity Act is a bipartisan, win-win issue,” Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said. said Thursday at X. Robin Hood CEO Vlad Tanev added: “The real momentum to finally clear across the finish line is now. One more small push and we lay the legislative foundation to ensure American dominance in digital finance.”

The crypto industry is waiting for the CLARITY Act to move through the US legislative process. It is expected to provide long-awaited regulatory clarity for crypto and could help the country become a major hub for crypto and digital finance.
The HarrisX poll also highlighted strong bipartisan support for the bill, with 55% of Democrats, 58% of Republicans and 42% of independents supporting it. He said public support for the bill could give senators a 20-point electoral advantage.

Some predict the Clarity Act will get additional markups as soon as next week.
Speaking at the Consensus 2026 crypto industry conference in Miami on Wednesday, Kara Calvert, Coinbase’s vice president of U.S. policy, said her “prediction is that we have a markup next week” from the Senate Banking Committee.
Calvert insisted the bill would have bipartisan support, saying it needed at least 60 votes to pass the Senate, but she wasn’t sure how things would play out in the coming days.
“That means you need Democrats. You need a bipartisan bill, and we’re all working hard to make sure that bipartisanship holds. I think the big question is how do these votes shape up over the next few days?”
However, the timeline for a vote could still be months away. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand recently suggested that additional markups are needed before the bill can advance, predicting a Senate vote in August.
