A new poll, exclusively provided to The Center Square, found that more Americans oppose the legalization of sports wagering than support it.
The poll, conducted by public opinion research firm Overton Insights, was conducted between May 16 and 20 and surveyed 1,377 registered voters.
Support for legalized sports betting stood at 31%, with 16% strongly supporting it and 15% somewhat supporting it. An additional 22% of respondents said they were unsure or had no opinion.
The poll also found that opposition to sports betting cut across political affiliations.
There were also differences across age groups. In the 45-54 age group, support for legal sports betting was around 53%, but it dropped to 24% in the 30-44 age group.
