Crypto Policies to Sway Key Swing Voters in 2024 Election, Survey Finds
49% of voters consider crypto an important issue when choosing a candidate.
Swing state candidates can gain significant support by adopting pro-crypto policies.
A recent by Consensys and HarrisX has placed high hopes on crypto policies as potential deciders of the 2024 US presidential election. With the election fast approaching, observers have been keen on unraveling what’s on the minds of voters ahead of D-day.
Study Reveals Crypto’s Growing Influence on Voter Behaviour
As the study found out, nearly half of voters (49%) would consider crypto policies in choosing their preferred candidate. This number increases massively to 85% when it comes to crypto owners, of which 92% have shown a very high interest in voting.
Essentially, this survey proves a point. It shows a trend among voters, particularly crypto enthusiasts, that they might be willing to cross party lines even as long as the candidate’s stance on crypto aligns with their own beliefs.
Among the general electorate, Consensys and HarrisX found that voters are +13 points more likely to support a candidate outside their political party of choice. That is, as long as that candidate advocates pro-crypto policies.
Again, this trend of switching sides was more pronounced among crypto owners. This set of individuals has a +58 point likelihood to cross from one party to the other, all because of favorable crypto policies.
