A recent poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on 9,700 eligible voters suggests that 42% of Texans would vote to make Bitcoin an official currency.

The survey also revealed that Texas is the crypto-friendliest swing state in the US.

Meanwhile, about 40% of respondents from Arizona were totally against the idea of making Bitcoin legal tender. Only 23% supported the initiative. Overall, one out of three Americans who reside in swing states fully backs Bitcoin.

In similar news, BTC PEERS reported that 48% of Brazilians are in favor of making Bitcoin a legal currency.
