It’s enough to restore your faith in American politics – and that takes some doing. According to a Zogby pollreleased July 23,2008, approximately 22% of American adults believe a state has the right to peaceably secede from the Union. 18% said they would support a move to secede by their state.

These sentiments were consistent across regions. But get this. 40% of 18 to 24 year olds believe states have the right to secede and 35% would support a move to secede in their state.

Hey kids , there is a political party that thinks like you do.
