New poll shows more support for casino ballot in Arkansas
The poll reveals that more people are in favour of the measure that would legalise four new casinos in the state.
US.- A new poll conducted by Talk Business & Politics and Hendrix College has found new support for the measure that would expand gaming and casinos in Arkansas. The survey says that 49% of polled potential voters support Issue 4.
While 43% of the people surveyed said they were against it and 8% said they remain undecided, a September poll found that only 41% were supportive of the measure and 48% were against it.
Should the amendment be approved, Arkansas would legalise casinos at a Hot Springs horse track and a West Memphis dog track that already offer electronic gambling. In addition, casinos in Pope and Jefferson counties would be legalised.
Local tribes are fully supporting the proposal and have contributed more than US$1.87 million in September to the Driving Arkansas Forward (DAF) committee, which is behind it.
