The two candidates have been neck-and-neck in the leadup to November, despite an initial boost for Harris following U.S. President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race this past July.
The U.S. Presidential Election Heats Up
The insightful new poll comes amid Harris’ seemingly growing warmth to the blockchain sector, with the one-time top prosecutor saying she would “encourage” digital asset innovation during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh this week.
“We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies, and expand our lead in clean energy innovation and manufacturing,” she said.
“We will encourage innovative technologies like AI and digital assets while protecting consumers and investors,” Harris continued. “We will create a safe business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road.”
Despite Harris’ recent calls to embrace the digital asset industry, some crypto community members prefer Trump due to his longstanding pro-crypto stance.
The Biden administration has received criticism for supporting the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) regulation-by-enforcement approach to cryptocurrencies.
According to a recent survey conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), non-crypto owners prefer Harris, while digital asset holders favor Trump.
The New York businessman and former U.S. president has publicly touted his love for cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail, vowing to enact crypto-friendly regulation if elected this November.
“We will have regulations, but from now on, the rules will be written by the people who love your industry, not hate your industry,” Trump told attendees of the Bitcoin 2024 Conference.
Earlier this month, he officially launched his family’s new crypto platform, World Liberty Financial. He sternly warned American crypto entrepreneurs about what would happen regarding crypto regulation should he lose the election.
“If for some reason bad, bad things happen and we don’t win the election, those people that were under investigation and that are free as a bird right now, people that were being looked at in the crypto world, they will be living in hell because it will start the day after the election if they win,” he said.
