A poll commissioned by a group called Citizens for Limited Taxation shows support for expanded gaming in Massachusetts.
Sixty-one percent of poll respondents said they supported casinos. Only 32 percent said they were opposed.
Other polls have shown similar views about gaming. But lawmakers this year rejected a bill that would authorize three commercial casinos in the state.
Class II gaming is legal in Massachusetts but most forms of Class III gaming are not. The newly recognized Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe plans to open a gaming facility once it has land placed in trust.
