Interesting....25% of the population would like to secede from the US. And of the people who said they identified with the Tea Party, supporters of secession were actually in the majority, with 53 percent. ALMOST ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS OPEN TO SECESSION - Jim Gaines: For the past few weeks, as Scotland debated the wisdom of independence, Reuters has been asking Americans how they would feel about declaring independence today, not from the United Kingdom, but from the mother country they left England to create. The exact wording of the question was, Do you support or oppose the idea of your state peacefully withdrawing from the United States of America and the federal government?...Almost a quarter (23.9 percent) of those surveyed said they were strongly or provisionally inclined to leave the United States, and take their states with them...Secession got more support from Republicans than Democrats, more from right- than left-leaning independents, more from younger than older people, more from lower- than higher-income brackets, more from high school than college grads. But there was a surprising amount of support in every group and region, especially the Rocky Mountain states, the Southwest and the old Confederacy, but also in places like Illinois and Kansas. And of the people who said they identified with the Tea Party, supporters of secession were actually in the majority, with 53 percent.
