A bid to put a casino in Queens near Citi Field has support from a majority of the borough’s residents, according to a poll commissioned by the group pushing the plan.
A memo on the survey, conducted by Schoen Cooperman Research, did not provide a geographic breakdown of the sample.
The poll appeared to reflect a broad boroughwide openness to a casino in northern Queens. Developers in crowded Manhattan — where pushback to a stable of bids has been fierce — might blush at the findings.
A two-page polling memo from Schoen Cooperman Research to a lobbying firm behind the Citi Field casino plan, New Green Willets, said 78% of respondents supported the project when briefed in detail.
