Trump's Crypto Strategy Gains Traction Among Voters, Poll Shows
A recent poll conducted before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the 2024 presidential race indicates that Donald Trump is gaining more support among crypto owners than Kamala Harris.
With the U.S. presidential election just 67 days away, the poll, released by Fairleigh Dickinson University, found that 801 U.S. voters who own digital assets are more likely to vote for Trump over Harris, giving him a 12-point lead among crypto owners. In contrast, Harris leads by 12 points among non-crypto holders.
Professor Dan Cassino from Fairleigh Dickinson noted, "Trump's efforts to engage with the crypto community seem to have paid off." Trump, who once called Bitcoin a "scam" in 2021, has since shifted his stance and now supports crypto miners and accepts crypto donations for his 2024 campaign. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has been mostly quiet on digital assets, with her campaign stating a general support for the growth of the crypto industry.
The poll did not ask about specific crypto policies, but it's clear that in this tight race, the crypto voter base could play a crucial role. As the election nears, both candidates might need to focus more on crypto-related issues to win over these influential voters.
