Around 64% of Wisconsin voters oppose legalizing online sports betting in the state, according to The Centre Square.

A recent poll from Marquette University found that of the 818 registered voters asked, 64% opposed legalizing online sports betting, while 34% supported it.

Data showed that 61% of Republicans were opposed, along with 66% of Democrats and 74% of independents. The results also show that 71% of people who attended religious services at least once a week and 62% of those who attended less often opposed legalization.

The legislature’s November Assembly vote was delayed, with Senator Chris Kapenga writing in a newsletter that legislative offices in the state “got slammed with emails urging opposition” in the days leading up to the vote.
