Over 20% of voters in swing states consider crypto a key issue in US elections: survey
The online survey reveals that swing state voters believe crypto is an important issue, according to a statement released by DCG on Tuesday. Of the states surveyed, Ohio voters are more negative towards crypto, the survey found.
Half of the 1,201 registered voters polled from Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Arizona, say they pay attention to candidates' crypto stances, according to the poll from DCG. The Harris Poll, which administered the survey on behalf of DCG, was conducted from April 4-16.
The online survey reveals that swing state voters consider crypto an important issue, according to a statement released by DCG on Tuesday.
“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 vice president of policy at DCG in a statement. “The poll also underscores a strong desire for policymakers to establish reasonable regulations that protect consumers without stifling innovation.”
Crypto has become a part of the campaign trail as current and previous presidential candidates have voiced their stances. Crypto industry super PACs have also raised more than $100 million for the 2024 congressional elections, according to a report released on Monday from consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, which gathered data from Opensecrets.org.
