The two propositions would increase sports betting across California
With less than a month until November’s election, a poll released Tuesday shows one of two state propositions that would greatly expand sports gambling stands a chance at passing.
Early this month, neither looked likely to pass. Only 31 percent of voters supported Proposition 26, and even fewer — 27 percent — supported Proposition 27, in a poll from theBut in a more recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA for The San Diego Union-Tribune and KGTV 10News, support for Proposition 26 had grown to 43 percent of likely voters, compared with 32 percent opposed. Proposition 27 still looked unlikely to pass with 37 percent of voters in support and 43 percent opposed.
Leaders of four of California’s most successful Native American tribes with gaming interests are the original proponents of Proposition 26, the in-person sports betting measure. It would impose a 10% tax on sports betting to fund gambling addiction treatment and enforcement programs. Proposition 27 is funded by gambling corporations, including sports gaming companies DraftKings and FanDuel. The companies, which control a large swath of the online sports betting market in the U.S., would be required to partner with a California tribe and pony up $100 million to get licensed in the state. Tribes could also offer sports betting platforms on their own for a $10-million entry fee.
