Poll: Cryptocurrency holders generally support Trump as US president

According to a new poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University, former US President Donald Trump's efforts to win over the cryptocurrency industry during this election cycle appear to be paying off. Poll results released Friday show that cryptocurrency holders are more likely to say they will vote for Trump than Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Half of cryptocurrency holders said they plan to vote for Trump, while only 38 percent prefer Harris. Among non-cryptocurrency owners, the statistics reversed, with Harris leading by 12 percentage points: 53% of voters who had never owned a cryptocurrency said they would vote for Harris, and 41% planned to vote for Trump. The poll collected responses from more than 800 registered voters across the United States, with 15% of respondents saying they own or have owned cryptocurrencies or non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The percentage of respondents who said they own cryptocurrencies is roughly in line with other recent surveys.
