In three referendum votes over the past three decades and in recent opinion polls conducted by Puerto Rico's biggest newspaper, El Nuevo Dia, the majority of Puerto Ricans have said they don't want their island to be a U.S. state.Source: Do We Need a 51st State?

As a matter of fact, I’ve talked with several people I know who come from Puerto Rico about this issue over the past couple years, and they’ve always told me that Puerto Rico has no interest in becoming a state.

Anyone asked the Puerto Ricans if they want to be a state? The Democrats asked them and they said "¿Que?", which is Spanish for "Yes, we want to become a state and vote for Democrats!"
