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.
