Support For Seccession Highest Amongst Hispanics

From the Lone Libertarian:

The phone poll suggests that 22% of Americans believe that states have the right to peacefully secede from the union.  They made sure to mention that the south comprised the highest percentage of those whom agreed at 26%.

Of that number, hispanics overwhelmingly agreed at 43%, followed by blacks at 40%, and whites at 17%.  That’s a pretty darn interesting dynamic.  Kinda throws the whole “racist southern whites trying to revive the Confederacy” argument.

The poll states that 18% of those queried would support a sucessionist effort in their state.
