Sports Betting Referendum in New Jersey Could be on its Way to Approval

There’s early indications that the statewide referendum on sports betting is on its way to approval.

William J. Pascrell III, campaign director for Vote YES on Sports Wagering and a partner at Princeton Public Affairs Group Inc., said, “At this stage so far, the absentee (vote by mail) ballots we’ve been monitoring in northern New Jersey are running 2-to-1 for approval.’’

Polls have also showed heavy support for the measure downstate. Sports betting would be hosted by the casinos and racetracks, and a Rutgers-Eagleton report showed support from nearly three-quarters of likely voters in Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties, where the casino and racetrack economies are based.

Pascrell said, “We‘re confident it‘s going to pass. We don‘t know what kind of margin it‘ll have.’’
