Kenosha County residents favor a Menominee Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International casino by a more than two-to-one margin, with 60% of local residents supporting the project and 25% opposed, according to the results of a recent poll commissioned by the tribe’s gaming commission.
According to the survey conducted by the Tarrance Group in September, a proposed Kenosha casino has even higher support levels in the four-county region that also includes Racine, Waukesha, and Milwaukee counties.
Based on the poll of 600 regional residents, support for a project in the area was 60% in favor and 15% opposed, a more than three-to-one ratio of support among those polled.
