Just What do Americans think About Online Gambling?

17 April 1999

By Glenn Barry

Last year the Washington Post carried a substantial feature on the issue of online gambling. They also had a little yes/no question: "Should internet gambling be illegal?" As these answers can be slow to dribble in, it is worth looking back at the site for the results.

Around they same time, the U.S. Senate also had a little yes/no vote on the exact same question.

Q.: "Should internet gambling be illegal?

	Sample Size	Yes Votes (Ban it)	No Votes (Don't Ban it)
WP Readers	2,462	788 (32%)	1,674 (68%)
U.S. Senators	100	90 (90%)	10 (10%)

Who said politicians were influenced by polls?
