According to a new poll, 25% of Americans say the country needs to be split into two separate nations. [Actually, the poll question only specifies "separate countries", not necessarily "two" of them - although "two" might be inferred from the wording. Disunion would probably involve more than two, if only for reasons of geography and demographics. - OB]
This is insane. [No, it isn't. What's insane is wanting to be or remain in political union with people who hate and despise you. - OB]
It's also not surprising.
Here was the question that the poll (from Just The News and Scott Rasmussen) posed:
"Some have suggested that the Red and Blue States (Republican-leaning states and Democratic-leaning states) should split into separate countries," said the poll. "Would you favor or oppose splitting the Red and Blue States into separate countries?"
Of those who supported this national divorce, 11% were strongly in favor. While 52% were strongly opposed (with another 10% slightly opposed), having 1-in-10 people thinking the Union isn't worth saving is a big deal.
Here's some other interesting demographic data [PDF]:
- Men were more likely to support separation (16%) compared to women (7%).
- Given the media's narrative on MAGA boomers and their whiteness, you'd expect that older white guys would be the first in line for this civil divide. The reverse is actually true. Those over 55 were less likely to support national separation compared to younger whippersnappers.
- White individuals were less likely to support separation (23%) compared to blacks (28%), Hispanics (34%), and other ethnic minorities (27%)
- Interestingly enough, there wasn't an insane difference between registered Republicans and Democrats – 32% to 22% respectively.
Where it got interesting was in the area of ideology and faith. People who were either "very conservative" or "very liberal" were WAY more likely to favor a split, at 43% and 33% respectively. Only 3% of those who consider themselves to be "somewhat liberal" supported the idea.
