Washington Two in three Americans support statehood for the US territory of Puerto Rico, a Gallup Poll released Thursday found, a figure that's largely consistent with where public support for reclassifying the island has been for decades.
The poll found 66% of Americans support statehood for the island with notably high backing from Democrats and younger voters between 18 and 29 . American support for Puerto Rico statehood has remained between 59% to 65% since 1962, according to Gallup. But even with consistent support from a majority of the American public, Puerto Rico statehood remains an elusive challenge.
