Casino Gambling in New Hampshire Redux

The following results are based on 600 completed interviews (see methodology) among a statewide random sample of registered voters in New Hampshire. Of the 600 interviews, 182 were among registered Republicans, 165 were among registered Democrats, and 253 were among registered undeclared voters. The interviews were conducted April 23 through 26, 2013.

The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of 600 is plus or minus 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

Question wording and responses:

There is a bill in the New Hampshire legislature that would establish a gaming commission and allow two casinos to operate in New Hampshire. One casino would be able to operate up to 160 table games and 3,500 slot machines and the second casino would be able to operate up to 80 table games and 1,500 slot machines. Do you favor or oppose this bill?
