How Americans Feel About Texas Independence
24th February 2024
Nearly 30 percent of Americans would support Texas leaving the United States and becoming an independent republic, according to a new poll conducted exclusively for Newsweek.
According to the Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey of 1,500 eligible voters across the U.S., 13 percent of the American population would “strongly support” Texas “seceding from the United States and becoming independent” with another 14 percent for “support.”
By contrast, 22 percent said they would be “strongly opposed” with another 14 percent for “opposed,” with 24 percent saying they “neither support nor oppose” the proposition and 13 percent for “don’t know.” The poll was conducted online on 18 and 19 February and has a margin of error of 2.5 percent.
