A new poll shows that Texans are split about where gambling should and shouldn't be allowed in the state.
Gambling is a hot topic in the Texas Legislature . A new poll shows that Texans are split about where it should and shouldn't be allowed.The Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation surveyed 1,600 likely Texas voters earlier this month about three legislative proposals to legalize sports betting in the Lone Star State.56 percent of the people surveyed supported the construction and operation of Destination Resort Casinos in Texas, compared to just 30 percent who opposed.
The push to legalize gambling in Texas has increased in recent years."Given the results of this survey, it is clear that the public appetite for additional gaming opportunities now matches the political appetite, not only with traditional supporters of gaming, but also with church-going Texans and women – that is a major change from what we have seen in recent legislative cycles," said Jason Villalba, Chairman and CEO of the TXHPF in a statement.
