A new survey conducted by ConsenSys and HarrisX has found that 50% of U.S. voters support pro-crypto policies, with an overwhelming 85% of crypto owners identifying cryptocurrency as a key issue in the upcoming elections. The survey indicates that crypto policy could play a decisive role in swing states, where voter margins are slim.
Growing Crypto Influence in U.S. Politics
Among crypto owners, 92% said they are likely to vote in upcoming elections, making this group a potentially influential demographic. The survey also showed that Republicans currently hold a slight lead in crypto-friendliness, though Democrats are gaining cross-party support in key states like Texas. Swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are expected to be pivotal battlegrounds, with a slight Republican edge in crypto policy preferences.
The findings suggest that both parties could benefit from appealing to the growing base of crypto voters. Donald Trump’s policies received 56% support, while Kamala Harris garnered 55%. However, 54% of respondents feel that Harris needs to clarify her stance on crypto regulations to gain more traction among pro-crypto voters.
Crypto as a Bipartisan Issue
ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin emphasized the importance of regulatory clarity in the crypto space, stating that the industry wants balanced and supportive regulations. The survey reflects that voters from both parties are concerned about the lack of clear guidelines for cryptocurrency and see it as a key issue for the country’s economic future.
As the 2024 elections approach, crypto voters could play a crucial role in deciding the outcome, especially in states where margins were tight in the last presidential race.
