Massachusetts strongly supports the authorization of three resort casinos in the state, despite the inability of Gov. Deval Patrick and the Legislature to reach an agreement on a gaming bill last year, according to a poll of 1,200 state residents

released today.

The poll conducted by UMass Dartmouth’s Center for Policy Analysis found that 55 percent of the respondents support the plan for three destination resort casinos with 23 percent opposed and 22 percent undecided.

The proposed legislation, which was rejected by the governor last year, called for resort casinos to be located in Southeastern Massachusetts, Western Massachusetts and Greater Boston.
