A Bloomberg Market Pulse survey published 29 Oct 2026 forecasts differing median year-end Bitcoin prices based on US election outcomes. Forecasts stand at $90,800 for Republican control, $84,100 for a split Congress, and $76,450 for Democratic control.[^1]

13% of Americans rate candidate support for crypto as very important, per an Ipsos survey conducted for the DeFi Education Fund.[^2]

Separate Fox News polling found more voters are extremely or very concerned about government corruption than inflation or gas prices.[^3][^4][^5][^6][^7][^8][^9][^10]
