That survey is pretty much meaningless. It doesn't matter if 70% or even 100% of people surveyed on any issue think a certain way. What is far more important is where that issue ranks in importance to them.

How many of those 70% would use this issue to decide their vote for Congress? How many would even consider it when voting? How many would take the time to ask about this issue at town meeting? How many would write a letter, etc? The answer, as we have seen since the beginning of home rule is essentially 0%. The public outside of DC simply does not care about DC statehood or any of its associated issues. That is why Members of Congress don't care.
