There were NOT 50,000 Klantifa in DC. The news I saw said 200-300, so point taken, but they should not exaggerate the size of this fringe group.

Poll: 39 percent back secession, strongest among Democrats, blacks

washingtonexaminer.com

According to the Zogby Analytics survey, 39 percent of the country support states breaking away from the national government and country.With growing liberal opposition to President Trump around the country, a new poll finds strong support for secession among Democrats and blacks.

According to the Zogby Analytics survey, 39 percent of the country support states breaking away from the national government and country.

And on the eve of Sunday’s dueling racially-charged protests at the gate of the White House, those most supportive of secession are Democrats and blacks, according to the survey analysis.

“Overall support for secession remains only 12 points from a majority,” said the poll.

Zogby Analytics survey.
Generally, said pollster Jeremy Zogby, the majority does not and has not endorsed secession over time. And, he added, “While one could make the case that a nationwide majority support for secession is not likely in the near term due to the appearance of a flat line in the trend — we can infer with relative confidence that still there are a handful of local hotbed areas where majority and even strong majority sentiment exist.”

Among Democrats, 42 percent support secession, a slight increase since Zogby Analytics asked the question a year ago. GOP support dropped form 38 percent to 35 percent.

Among African-Americans, support rose from 43 percent to 47 percent.

And among Hispanics, support dropped most, from 51 percent support to just 34 percent.


Zogby Analytics.
He asked 1,001 likely voters two questions to get the results:

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.
