The results of a recent survey suggest that voters’ positions on digital assets may sway key swing states in the 2024 U.S. elections.
Survey Results Show Crypto’s Growing Relevance
A survey conducted by Digital Currency Group (DCG) and The Harris Poll in April 2022 polled 1,201 registered voters. Key findings include:
- Over two-thirds of respondents somewhat or strongly agreed that crypto is equitable and accessible.
- More than 90% of voters surveyed in swing states like Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania and Arizona said they plan to vote in 2024.
- 26% of voters said candidates’ stances on crypto will help decide their vote.
Crypto Views Don’t Depend on Demographics
The positive outlook on crypto crossed demographic lines:
- There were no major differences based on household income.
- Support was similar across political affiliations.
- However, 77% of Ohio voters held more negative views.
Crypto’s Impact on Key Senate Races
The Senate race in Ohio between Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican J.D. Vance could be influenced by crypto policy positions.
While Vance could win in Ohio, Democrats could still keep Senate control and the Banking Committee chair.
Looking Ahead to 2024
With control of the Presidency, House and Senate up for grabs, crypto is poised to be a critical issue. Political action committees have already raised over $100 million to support crypto-friendly candidates.
