A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Key Takeaway

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.

On February 14, 2026, at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described America and Europe as heirs to a shared Western civilization, shaped by history, Christian faith, culture, language, and ancestry. He blamed post-Cold War choices—like open trade, big welfare states, poor energy policies, and mass migration—for deindustrialization, weakened defenses, and eroded cohesion, declaring 'decline was a choice.' Rubio called on Europe to secure borders, rebuild industries, boost defense, and embrace cultural pride alongside a renewing America, a message echoed by Vice President JD Vance and amplified by a State Department post with over 31,000 likes. Supporters praised it as a defense of values, while critics labeled it nationalism or nostalgia, highlighting tensions in transatlantic ties under Trump’s America First approach.
