According to a Public Opinion Strategies survey commissioned by CoinDesk, 62% of registered US voters do not trust President Donald Trump's administration to oversee the crypto industry, based on late-April polling of 1,000 voters with a credibility interval of about 3.5 percentage points.
The survey also found 73% of respondents oppose senior government officials having personal business dealings in crypto, and only 1% ranked crypto as their top 2026 midterm issue—far behind cost of living at 36%. Trump's overall approval rating stood at 40%, despite his administration backing digital-asset market-structure legislation and appointing crypto-friendly regulators.
