There is little support among Iowa residents for legalizing online poker in the state according to a recent poll by the Des Moines Register.

Only 25 percent of respondents favored legalizing online poker in Iowa.

The paper reports that Iowa lawmakers have discussed legalizing and taxing online poker in recent years. A study from 2011 says online poker could generate $3 million to $13 million in online taxes per year in the state.

The Iowa Poll, conducted Feb. 23-26 for the Des Moines Register by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, is based on interviews with 703 Iowans ages 18 or older.
