| Many Americans unaware storm-stricken Puerto Ricans are fellow US citizens
As President Donald Trump’s critics accused him of not doing enough to help Puerto Rico after it was hit by Hurricane Maria, a shocking new poll reveals that 47 percent of Americans don’t know the island’s 3.5 million residents are US citizens. Eight out of 10 of those who were aware that Puerto Ricans were citizens said they would send aid to the storm-battered territory, according to a Morning Consult poll reported by the New York Times on Tuesday. In comparison, only 40 percent of those who did not know the islanders were their fellow Americans approved of sending them aid.
