One new poll suggests that a “growing supermajority” of Fairfax County voters would oppose a casino in Tysons.
The poll, commissioned by the lobbying group Freedom Virginia, found that three-quarters of county residents are against the potential project, with roughly 50% being “strongly” against a casino.
A total of 800 people likely to vote in the upcoming general election were polled by the public affairs firm Global Strategy Group, including an oversample of Tysons residents, according to a press release.
“This opposition is underpinned by the belief that casinos increase traffic congestion in neighborhoods where they are placed and that Virginians currently have enough options for gaming, including casino locations,” GSG wrote in a report of the findings.
