High Info Voters Support Puerto Rico Statehood
Navigator research recently checked on awareness of and support for eight political changes, including statehood for Puerto Rico. These reforms were, in the words of the Navigator report, “bigger ideas geared at bolder electoral and political reforms.”
Some of these ideas have been coming up in early presidential campaigns, or in reform proposals in Congress.
Navigator sorted respondents to the survey in a new way. While they asked whether the people they interviewed were liberal or conservative, they discovered that the most interesting distinction was between the “high-info” and the average respondent.
Statehood for Puerto Rico was one of the most familiar ideas; one third of respondents had heard of this proposal. Most proposals were unfamiliar to those taking the survey. But some respondents were familiar with five out of the eight ideas. These individuals were identified as “high-info” — people who were more aware of the new ideas in general. High-info respondents made up less than one quarter of all those surveyed.
