Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : President Donald Trump on Tuesday granted a pardon to Ross William Ulbricht, the imprisoned creator of a dark web marketplace for drugs and other illicit products whose case had become a cause célèbre for libertarians and crypto enthusiasts. Trump explicitly tied his decision to free Ulbricht, who is serving a life sentence, to the support his campaign drew from people who viewed the Silk Road founder as a pioneer who was a victim of government persecution.
29% : Trump previously said he would commute Ulbricht's sentence "on Day One" at the Libertarian National Convention in 2024.
