Only 54% of the PR voters said they were not content with the current status of PR.

That means 46% are satisfied with the status quo.

And since the majority opposed to the status quo is not that large, one could argue that there isn’t a strong case to make it a state.

On the second question, only about 1.3 million voters made a choice. Of those, nearly 800,000, or 61 percent of those expressing an opinion, chose statehood — the first majority after three previous referendums on the issue over the past 45 years. Some 437,000 backed sovereign free association and 72,560 chose independence. Nearly 500,000, however, left that question blank.

If only 800,000 Puerto Ricans want statehood, that is only like a third of the adult population who voted for that.
