Given the attention Todd Palin's views on secession received, I wondered if secession was more popular than popularly reported. I found a Zogby poll that shows surprising (to me) support for the concept.
A followup question that was asked.
What say you?
Note: to parallel the Zogby poll, Orlando Bloom and Eggplant have been left off the poll.
The primary question asked was this.One in five American adults - 22% - believe that any state or region has the right to "peaceably secede from the United States and become an independent republic," a new Middlebury Institute/Zogby International telephone poll shows.
Backing was highest among the 18 to 24 age group (40%) and Hispanics (43%). Mainline liberals supported the notion almost two-to-one over mainline conservatives, at 32% to 17%.I believe any state or region has the right to peaceably secede and become an independent republic:
22% agreed, 73% disagreed, with 5% unsure
A followup question that was asked.
I happen to be a member of the 22% responding affirmatively to the first question, and the 44% agreeing with the second.I believe the United States' system is broken and cannot be fixed by traditional two-party politics and elections:
44% agreed, 53% disagreed, 3% not sure.
What say you?
