Gambling on sporting events will be paraded out to voters this fall, but a new BettingUSA.com survey has found that only 29% are in favor of Colorado sports betting. The survey was conducted via Google between June 2nd and 5th of this year and collected 5,000 responses from people age 18 and older who were located in the state.
The survey was able to identify that only 29% of voting-age Coloradans would approve the legalization of sports betting if the referendum were held today, while 31.5% would oppose the measure Almost 40% of respondents are undecided.

“Voter education will be critical over the next few months,” said BettingUSA.com CEO Mike Murphy.
