Every Democrat running for president in 2020 has come out in favor of making Washington, D.C., the nation’s 51st state. But support for granting full statehood to D.C. as low as ever, according to a new poll.
Every Democrat running for president in 2020 has come out in favor of making Washington, D.C., the nation’s 51st state. But a new Gallup poll found support for granting full statehood to D.C. as low as ever — across the political spectrum., the firm’s first national poll on the issue, found 29 percent of adults polled in June support statehood, and 64 percent oppose it.
But as public opinion has shifted wildly over the past few decades on everything from LGBT rights to "tough on crime" legislation, it has remained nearly static on the question of D.C. statehood. And, Jones noted, it’s not as though the American public is opposed to adding any new states at all.Sign Up
“We have found, historically, support for making Puerto Rico a state, and people supported making Alaska and Hawaii states [in the 1950s],” he said. “But there’s something different about DC. Certainly, people aren’t very positive about the federal government, so it’s possible some of that rains down on DC’s population and local government.”
