20% of Swing State Voters Prioritize Crypto in Upcoming US Elections
In a significant shift in the political landscape, over 20% of voters in several key swing states now consider cryptocurrency a top priority issue in the upcoming US elections. This revelation comes from a recent poll conducted by the blockchain venture firm Digital Currency Group (DCG), shedding light on the growing influence of the crypto community on the electoral process.
The Harris Poll, commissioned by DCG, surveyed 1,201 registered voters across six battleground states: Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona. The poll, conducted from April 4 to 16, 2024, found that half of the respondents pay close attention to candidates’ stances on cryptocurrency-related issues.
“This data shows crypto is top of mind for voters in swing Senate states and that a pro-crypto position is a net positive for policymakers and candidates,” said Julie Stitzel, senior VP of policy at DCG. “The poll also underscores a strong desire for policymakers to establish reasonable regulations that protect consumers without stifling innovation.”
