A sports betting bill has passed through several committees in the Minnesota House and appears to be gaining momentum.

There is also a sports betting proposal in the Minnesota Senate, but it hasn’t been heard in committee. If Minnesotans have a say in the matter, they might tell the state senate to put their money on legalizing sports betting.

According to our latest KSTP/SurveyUSA poll, 64% of respondents say sports betting should be made legal. Only 17% say they oppose the bill, while 19% are undecided.

“Fewer than one in five Minnesotans are opposed … so that really does suggest there’s a lot of public momentum for sports betting,” said Steven Schier, political analyst at Carleton College.
