Poll: Cryptocurrency stance and gender differences emerge in US presidential election

A poll shows that the well-established gender divide in U.S. politics and this year’s presidential election has also seen a crypto divide emerge and intersect with gender. Dan Cassino, professor of government and political science at Fairleigh Dickinson University and executive director of FDU Polling, said the data shows that one in seven voters own crypto and they are leaning towards Donald Trump, who has become a strong advocate for crypto. More crypto owners support Trump (50%) over Kamala Harris (38%), while non-crypto owners are almost the opposite, supporting Harris (53%) over Trump (41%). Men are more than twice as likely to own crypto as women. “Cryptocurrency is an option for those who want to fulfill the roles society requires them to play — making money, raising a family, and becoming financially and technologically savvy,” he wrote in a Washington Post analysis last Friday. “While it’s unlikely that the proceeds from these investments will buy a big house in a good school district, cryptocurrencies appear to offer these young people a path to prosperity that traditional education, hard work and savings can’t.” (Fortune)
