    A new poll shows that more than half of Ohioans support a proposal to build a casino in southwest Ohio between Columbus and Cincinnati.

    The poll conducted by The Columbus Dispatch found that 53 percent said they either strongly favor or favor the $600 million casino and resort, which would be built near the city of Wilmington.

    Casino backers have turned in more than 760,000 petition signatures to Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in an attempt to place the casino proposal on the November ballot.
