A Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday found 63% of respondents viewed Trump family cryptocurrency profits as inappropriate while 32% viewed them as appropriate. Among Republicans, 30% called the deals inappropriate and 70% called them appropriate. Separate data showed Trump's overall approval at 33% and Republican approval at 79%.
The poll shows widespread concern over $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency profits and ethical conflicts, with even some Republican unease and falling approval ratings indicating limits to partisan tolerance.
