I suspect the majority of people are ~ 60/40 in favour (internally, as an individual) or 60/40 against hosting
When you're close to 50/50, you're a lot less likely to bother going out to vote. I don't think spite will be a strong enough motivator for many people to do it either.
It should certainly be a yes vs. no vote, but it would be really interesting to see if it played out on a 10 pt scale. I think you'd see a ton of 4s, 5s, and 6s.
