00:07this is the strongest support that the polls have shown.

00:11We've seen previous polls from people in Missouri, you know, more than 50% of people wanting

00:17sports betting there, but it seems like that number is climbing as we continue to talk

00:20about it.

00:21Yeah, it's been fairly kind of 50-50 the whole time, but the latest poll is very strong in

01:20a no-brainer, it'll get passed in November.

01:24Again, that's dependent on this hearing tomorrow, potentially.

01:28But yeah, as you said, the numbers right now are really a good situation.
