New Survey: Palmer residents support casino
July 16, 2009

PALMER, MA - In a new survey by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Center for Policy Analysis, Palmer residents favor a resort-style casino by a 2-to-1 margin.

The survey questioned 483 registered voters and found 60 percent would vote yes in a casino referendum while 30 would vote no. Ten percent were undecided.

These results are similar to two previous polls taken this year. In February a poll by UMass and the State House News Service showed 57 percent of all state residents support resort casinos. In March a Suffolk University poll found 61 percent statewide favored licensing of resort casinos.

The latest survey shows strong support if the governor and the legislature decide to license up to three resort casinos across the state.
