New report: "Gambling: As the Take Rises, So Does Public Concern"


Changes have apparently shifted in the public's attitudes toward legal gambling. A new social trends report on gambling by Pew Research Center was just released on May 23, 2006. Gambling: As the Take Rises, So Does Public Concern, shows a trend of less public support toward legal gambling, and many believe that gambling encourages people to spend more than they can afford.

The full report is available at:

Please post your comments about the findings of this report below.

I'm surprised to hear these results. Some people can say they don't support legal gambling, but the numbers of what people spend don't lie.
