    That actually surprises me as well. I’m impressed.

    However what you presented are statistics for American citizens.

    If you were to include the roughly 3 percent of people living in the USA that are undocumented, that pushes it below the 51 percent “most people” number. those 12 million people may or may not have a valid passport.

    As a side point, the actual number of undocumented residents is hard to pin down. 3 percent is an estimate, but still a significant number.
