Poll: 48 percent of TX Republicans favor secession
An equal number of Republicans think Texas would be better off as its own country as think it would be better off as part of the United States.
Forty-eight percent of Republicans said they favor secession, the same percentage that said they didn’t in a Research 2000/DailyKos poll released Thursday.
More, a majority of Republicans – 51 percent – approve of Gov. Rick Perry’s (R) recent comments that suggested Texas may need to leave the United States; 44 percent of Republicans disapproved of the remark.
Um, wow. Even as a Texan I find this shocking.
OK, it is worth noting that only 234 Republicans were surveyed in the poll. Somehow I don’t find that very comforting, though.
