Poll: Trump leads Harris by 12 percentage points among cryptocurrency holders

A new poll by the FDU found that potential voters who hold cryptocurrencies (about one in seven registered voters) are backing former President Donald Trump by 12 percentage points in the upcoming presidential election. "Trump has been reaching out to the cryptocurrency community and appears to be paying off," wrote Dan Cassino, a professor of government and political science at Vermont State University and the poll's executive director. The FDU poll found that cryptocurrency holders have 50% support for Trump and 38% for Vice President Kamala Harris. This compares to a Reuters/Ipsos poll this week that showed Harris leading Trump 45% to 41%. Meanwhile, the largest betting pool on Polymarket tied to the outcome of the upcoming presidential election shows Trump with a narrow 50% -48% lead over Harris. (Decrypt)
