Does New Jersey need to limit the number of gambling ads residents are exposed to?

The answer, according to a majority of voters in the state interviewed in a recent poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University, is yes.

Ads have become seemingly ubiquitous since a 2018 landmark U.S Supreme Court decision struck down a near-nationwide ban on sports betting.

You might see a commercial for a Caesars sportsbook app during a New York Giants game, or an ad for FanDuel — the official sports betting partner for Major League Baseball — in the middle of a Yankees game.
