The Reuters/Ipsos survey comes right after the narrow rejection of secession from the United Kingdom by Scotland, but that effort has nonetheless fueled similar sentiments among millions of Americans, where "almost a quarter of people are open to their states leaving the union," Reuters reported.
In all, nearly 24 percent of those surveyed from August 23 through September 16 said they strongly supported or tended to support the notion of their state leaving, while only 53.3 percent of 8,952 of respondents strongly opposed or tended to oppose secession. Reuters further noted:
The urge to sever ties with Washington cuts across party lines and regions, though Republicans and residents of rural Western states are generally warmer to the idea than Democrats and Northeasterners, according to the poll.
What's driving the secession push among many is anger over Washington's and the White House's legislative and policy priorities. Most notable, according to the survey, is anger with President Barack Obama's handling of several issues ranging from his and Democrats' highly unpopular Affordable Care Act to the rise of the Islamic State.
