JAKARTA - A poll involving 800 voters in part-time elections in four US states shows that the majority of voters favor ideas around decentralization, and many are HODLers.

According to a September 29 report from venture capital firm Haun Ventures on a survey conducted by business intelligence firm Morning Consult, roughly one in five voters surveyed in New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania said they had non-exchangeable cryptocurrency or tokens.

Additionally, 91% of respondents support the internet owned by the community, regulated by the community which provides greater control to people over their information.

"significantly, and reflecting how the values associated with voters with Web3 will encourage electoral behavior, voters tend not to support candidates who are considered to be blocking decentralized internet," Haun Ventures said.

"In other words, because both sides are considering how a good Web3 policy will translate into good politics, Web3 values are what voters want to see being supported by elected officials, not hindering," Haun Ventures added, as quoted by Cointelegraph.

The survey noted that voters surveyed were slightly inclined to the Democratic Party, but promoting decentralized and democraticized internet appeared to be a bipartisan problem, with both sides having a "limited belief in the government's ability" to regulate Web3.

Haun Ventures reports that 55% of the voters surveyed will tend to elect political candidates against internet decentralization policies, while 72% of HODLers in polls say they have digital assets because they want a more democratic, fairer, and working economic system for more people.

"This poll makes it clear that in this state, Web3 voters now represent a significant, younger and more diverse middle-class voter group than the overall population," they said.

The poll targets people planning to vote in the 2022 half-time election in the United States, which will be held in November with candidates taking office in January.

Morning Consul conducted a survey from September 15. Katie Haun, a member of the Coinbase board and a former board member for OpenSea, raised $1.5 billion to set up a Haun Ventures in March for investment on Web3.
