Data: Over 20% of swing state voters view cryptocurrency as a key issue in the U.S. election.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, a poll conducted by the blockchain venture capital firm Digital Currency Group (DCG) shows that over 20% of voters in several key swing states consider cryptocurrency a key issue in the upcoming U.S. elections.

The survey was conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of DCG from April 4 to 16, surveying 1,201 registered voters from Michigan, Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona. The survey found that half of the respondents indicated they would pay attention to candidates' positions on cryptocurrency.

DCG's Senior Vice President of Policy, Julie Stitzel, stated, "These data indicate that cryptocurrency is a focal point for swing Senate state voters, and a pro-cryptocurrency stance is advantageous for policymakers and candidates. The survey also emphasizes the strong desire among policymakers to protect consumers while not stifling innovation and to establish reasonable regulations."

Other findings include that about 20% to 25% of voters and one-third of "cryptocurrency supporters" want elected officials to focus on cryptocurrency regulation and investor protection. Among the surveyed states, Ohio voters have a more negative attitude towards cryptocurrency, while Montana has the highest cryptocurrency ownership rate, with 14% of voters currently holding cryptocurrency.
