Amidst the growing intensity and louder calls for independence around the globe, John Zogby Strategies once again conducted a nationwide poll on the topic over the July 4th holiday. We asked 1,001 likely voters the following question:

Which of the following is closer to your view?

Statement A: If a majority of residents within a given state prefer to have the final say over their destiny without the control of Washington D.C., then let them have it – it is their right.

Statement B: If residents within a given state were to take such a drastic measure and secede from the United States, the Federal Government would be justified sending in the military to prevent secession from taking place.

Results still reveal nearly 4 in 10 (39%) agree with statement A and 32% agree with statement B. In other words, a plurality of Americans agree with a state’s right to make a clean break from the Federal Government and go their own way while just shy of one-third (32%) would support a military intervention to suppress a state’s attempt to break away, and 29% are still not sure.

About one year ago we asked the very same question over the 2017 Labor-Day weekend to 800 likely voters in a nationwide survey. Even then, 39% of respondents chose statement A.

Below are charts that compare 2017 and 2018 results from key demographics.

How long would it take the propaganda machine to flip those numbers?

To stampede the fickle, mush-headed body politic of half wits?

About a day I reckon.

"It is a state's right to secede" but would they like to secede themselves? A different question. That would show how strong "Secessionist Sentiment" really is.

Option #1 doesn't even mention secession but asks about state's rights:

Justified and obligated. Anyone who hates America enough to leave it, is an enemy of America, and therefore must be forced to re-join America.

Wait a minute!

How about the ability to kick out states or cities?

There's two sides (or more?) to this disbanding of the regime....

Could we just let California be a separate state and join the rest of the country as a member of some formal union? :confused:

And yet secession will continue to not happen.
