Poll Shows Overwhelming Support For Online Gambling Legalization.

USA Today Poll Shows Positive Numbers.

In a recent poll conducted by USA Today, over 95% of the responses favor the legalization AND regulation of online gambling in the United States.

The poll, which has been receiving numerous amounts of hits since the weekend’s British Open golf championship, isn’t necessarily an indicator of what might happen in the future - but at least its a start in the right direction in terms of the general public’s opinion on this rather controversial hot topic.

“We gamble billions of dollars in this country, and the Internal Revenue Service doesn’t get a dime,” Lee Trevino tells ESPN.com’s Bob Harig in a story from the Open at Southport. “Instead, they spend millions of dollars trying to catch these people.”

Representative Jim McDermott, D-Wash., is attempting to convince the US government to do just that.

Just this past week, McDermott introduced a bill to Congress that will eventually help legalize and regulate online gambling.  His plan has high hopes for the slumping economy, which is of course in a near-recession at the present moment.  The bill would hopefully generate nearly $40 billion in additional tax revenue to the government over the next ten years!

“We have gambling on horses. All of a sudden we say you can’t gamble online. What’s that about?
If we can take revenue from horse racing we certainly can take revenue from online,” preaches an optimistic McDermott.
