Here's Percentage Of Americans Who Want To See Country Broken Up Into Regional Unions
The United States is feeling a lot less united lately.A new study that asked Americans whether they support dividing the country into regions found almost one-third of adults think it would be a good idea.
Conducted by the political science research project Bright Line Watch at Rochester University, the study found that 3 in 10 citizens (29 percent) said they’d support their state seceding from the union.
Pollsters said they were encouraged to ask the question due to national discord over the 2020 election.
“Until recently, we would have regarded it as too marginal to include in a survey. But state legislators in Mississippi and Texas and state GOP leaders in Texas and Wyoming have openly advocated secession in recent months, prompting us to design two survey items to gauge perceptions of this idea,†the researchers said.
Under this hypothetical, the United States would be split into five regions - Pacific, Mountain, Heartland, South, and Northeast.
