Cointelegraph
A new poll reveals that most Americans distrust crypto and AI despite massive spending by industry-aligned super PACs in the 2026 midterms.Summary
Industry groups for cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence are investing tens of millions of dollars into the 2026 midterm elections through super PACs. However, an April 2026 survey by Public First for Politico indicates widespread public skepticism toward both sectors. The data shows that 45% of Americans view crypto as too risky, while 44% believe AI is advancing too rapidly, with a majority favoring stricter regulation for both industries. Political analysts warn that candidates accepting funds from these PACs may face voter backlash, especially as awareness of the influence of groups like Fairshake and Leading the Future continues to grow.
