A New Survey from Fairleigh Dickson University has found that at least 1 in 7 U.S voters have invested in cryptocurrencies, and these investors are more likely to support Donald Trump over Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
This survey was conducted from August 17 to 20, where over 800 registered voters were asked if they had ever invested in cryptocurrencies or NFT. The result of the survey shows that crypto investors are 50% more likely to vote for Trump, while only 38% are inclined to support Harris
According to Dan Cassino, the head of the poll at FDU, he said Trump’s effort to engage with crypto voters seems to be working
Trump has been reaching out to the crypto community, and it seems to have paid off
The former president made a strong push for crypto voters during his speech at the recent Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. During his speech, he promised to set up a Bitcoin reserve to position the U.S.A. as the top cryptocurrency holder. This is a promise that the crypto industry now hopes for.
On the other hand, non-crypto voters show strong support for Harries, with 54% backing her compared to 41% for Trump. This indicates a clear divide between crypto investors and non-investors in their political preferences.
Cassino pointed out that the ideology behind cryptocurrency, which often includes skepticism of established power structures, aligns with Trump’s political stance.
However, as the election approaches, both candidates are most likely to focus on attracting this group of voters.
