Many surveys over the years have been done on the topic of legalized gambling. It's an issue that many people have strong opinions on. It generally boils down to one of two things; either folks support it, or they don't. How about you? Are you an advocate of legalized gambling, is it a worthwhile form of entertainment/business, or do you feel we're much better off without it?
| Yes, I support legalized gambling | 372 votes | 66% |
| No, I'm against legalized gambling | 188 votes | 34% |
