24% Want Their State To Secede

Scotland voted on Thursday not to secede from the United Kingdom, but a Reuters poll finds that almost one in four Americans support their state seceding from the United States. The poll finds that 24 percent of Americans either strongly support or tend to support their state breaking away from the union. It was conducted Aug. 23 to Sept. 16, meaning it occurred before the Scotland vote. Republicans were more supportive of the idea than Democrats, at 30 percent to 21 percent. The Southwest, which for the purposes of the poll included Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona, was the most likely to support secession, at 34 percent/The Hill.

Question: Would you like to see Idaho secede from the union? Why? Why not?
