NJ voters evenly split on North Jersey casino expansion
New Jersey voters will decide in November whether to authorise two new casinos in the northern part of the state near New York City.
US.- With New Jersey voters making their minds about November’s, which would determine whether to authorise two new casinos in the northern part of the state near New York City, a Monmouth University Poll showed that voters evenly split on the issue.
The Monmouth University Poll showed that voters evenly divided on whether to authorise construction of two new casinos near New York City, with 48 percent in favour and 48 percent opposed. Northern New Jersey voters support the idea, whilst voters in central and southern New Jersey oppose it.
The Fitch report predicts that even if the referendum passes, it would take four years for a new one to open, although others expect a shorter timeline.
The ballot measure does not specify the locations of the gambling facilities, but the two most likely casino sites are at the Meadowlands sports complex in East Rutherford and in Jersey City.
