Poll: 44 Percent of Kenosha Residents Support Casino

KENOSHA, Wisconsin -- Less than half of Kenosha County residents back a plan to build an $808 million casino complex at Dairyland Greyhound Park, according to a poll conducted for the Kenosha News.

But the poll, conducted by A&A Research of Montana last week, found that more residents support the plan than oppose it.

Pollsters said 44 percent of county residents interviewed supported the plan, compared with 33 percent opposed. The remaining 23 percent said they had no opinion on the proposal.

County residents will vote Nov. 2 in a nonbinding referendum designed to measure support for the Menominee Nation's tribal casino. City and county officials will retain the authority to decide whether to pursue negotiations with the American Indian tribe.

The poll asked county residents if they strongly support, somewhat support, strongly oppose, somewhat oppose or have no opinion about the proposed casino.
