Most Americans say Donald Trump and his family inappropriately benefited from cryptocurrency, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey finds 63% of respondents believe Trump’s crypto-related profits cross a line, while the remainder either disagrees or is unsure.
The poll also measures perceptions of potential influence from Trump’s private business interests. It reports that 69% of Americans think Trump’s private business dealings affect his decisions as president. Notably, the findings include views from within his political coalition: about half of fellow Republicans also say Trump’s business interests influence his decisions.
Mint and Decrypt both describe the same poll results and frame them as evidence of broad public concern about conflicts between Trump’s presidency and his business activities, including cryptocurrency. They align on the key percentages and on the fact that skepticism extends beyond Democrats into at least part of the Republican base.
