I strongly recommend reading the complete article at the linked page. That 66% of Southern GOPers support secession was not much of a surprise but the #2 region that supports secession did surprise me as did the region which least supports the idea of states leaving the USA.
Naturally, a couple of the 'clowns' at FauxNews are all in favor of some states leaving the USA
Now, personally, I see those who wish to secede as being the "people who hate this country.” But -- hey, they were only joking - right?
66% of Southern Republicans in favor of seceding from the U.S., poll shows
A recent poll on support for seceding from the U.S. is a tale of two coasts.
The poll, released by Bright Line Watch Wednesday, showed 66% of Republicans in the South supported leaving the U.S. and forming a new country. Those sentiments were shared by 50% of independents and 20% of Democrats.
Overall, support for leaving the Union among Southern states – listed as Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina – was 44%.

Fox’s Gutfeld: ‘I am Very Pro’ ‘A Trial Separation’
On his “comedy” show last night, Gutfeld gave his “comic” thumbs up to a poll that found 66% of southern Republicans favor seceding. The pollsters urged people to take the findings with a grain of salt, warning that the survey “reflects initial reactions by respondents about an issue that they are very unlikely to have considered carefully.”
Lisa Boothe, grinning broadly, was on board. “I’m starting to see that,” she said, then giggled. “I’m probably gonna get myself in trouble for this but, like, would it be the worst thing? I mean, I don’t know, I’m sick and tired of people who hate this country.”
