Poll Shows Ohio Voters in Favor of Casino Betting
Through weeks of debate among Ohio’s politicians regarding if to execute either or both widened Betting motions, adversaries have concentrated on the voter vetoes of casinos in the past. However, a new university opinion poll claims state electorate have changed their minds, and now favor both Betting proposals by a landslide.
Conforming to a Quinnipiac University poll advertised yesterday, those in favor of Governor Ted Strickland’s layout to position slot machines at race tracks exceed those against by a 65-to-31 margin. And those behind the measure by Ohio Growth and Jobs to license four betting casino spots in Ohio were almost as abundant, ahead by a 60-to-36 margin.
Nevertheless, even more thunderous was the declaration by supporters that they would like the last word on casino betting, rather than entrust that decision to the governor or legislature. The poll said 84 percent felt this way, while only 14 percent wanted officials to judge.
“The voters of Ohio clearly prefer expanded Betting to raising taxes or cutting essential services,” says OCA gaming analyst Sherman Bradley. “And local politicians may well be judged by how efficiently they serve this goal, as the governor’s rating shows.”
Bradley is concerning to a piece of the poll displaying an 11 point drop in Strickland’s position by citizens since May. While Strickland has defended Betting, he has been incapable of politically organizing the state and get the laws passed.
