Apparently people like to see gambling available in their state. Who would've expected that?
Americans, it seems, like to have casinos in their states. According to a recent poll 52% of adults surveyed were in favor of casino gambling in their home state while 37% were sticks in the mud and wanted none. Presumably the missing 11% didn’t really care one way or the other.
The Rasmussen Report on casino gambling, which was done as a national phone survey, also found that 57% of people surveyed found that casinos had had a positive impact on the local economy while 71% said that they have gambled at some point in their lives and 27% have not, leaving 2% who were apparently too drunk to remember.
While 100% of those polled agreed that staying home and playing online poker in the comfort of their own home was 100% awesome*.
