Kamala Harris Leading Over Donald Trump in Key Swing States, Poll Shows

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris holds a lead over her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, in six critical swing states, according to a Bloomberg poll released on September 26. The poll, conducted from September 19 to 25, shows Harris ahead in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—states that could play a decisive role in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

However, the race remains tight in Georgia, where both Harris and Trump are currently tied.

Despite the close competition, Harris has gained momentum after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July, leaving her as the Democratic nominee.

Harris’ Stance on Technology and Innovation

The poll results come as Harris increasingly embraces technology sectors like blockchain and digital assets. During a recent campaign stop in Pittsburgh, she expressed her support for innovation in areas such as biomanufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and blockchain technology.

“We will invest in biomanufacturing and aerospace, remain dominant in AI and quantum computing, blockchain, and other emerging technologies,” Harris stated. She also emphasized creating a safe environment for innovation with “consistent and transparent rules of the road.”

Crypto Community Divided

While Harris has been gaining ground, Trump continues to attract support from the cryptocurrency community due to his pro-crypto stance. The former president has pledged to enact crypto-friendly regulations if re-elected, contrasting with the Biden administration’s regulatory approach, which has been criticized by some for being too restrictive on the industry.

Trump recently addressed the Bitcoin 2024 Conference, promising, “We will have regulations, but from now on, the rules will be written by the people who love your industry, not hate your industry.”

He also launched a new crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, and warned that if he loses the election, crypto regulation could become significantly harsher under Democratic leadership.

The 2024 U.S. presidential race is heating up, with both candidates presenting distinct visions for the country’s future, especially in emerging technology and digital assets.
