A surprising number of Americans agree with the fiery Georgia representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene, that the United States needs a “national divorce” in which the red and blue states separate and the federal government shrinks.
Thirty-four percent of the 1,000 likely voters polled by Rasmussen Reports said they agreed with Greene, but 57 percent still disagreed with the premise.
When broken down by party, Republicans are split on the issue with just a 5 percent margin of agreeing and disagreeing, while even 26 percent of Democrats say they agree with the pro-GOP congresswoman. -Trump.
Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene says America needs a ‘national divorce’ between red and blue states
A shocking new poll shows that a third of Americans agree with this sentiment from the Georgia Republican.
On President’s Day, the Trump acolyte was unimpressed by President Joe Biden’s surprise visit to Ukraine, claiming in a tweet that it is time for America to divide.
“We need a national divorce,” the Georgia Republican wrote on Twitter last Monday.
“We need to separate the red states and the blue states and shrink the federal government,” he insisted. Everyone I talk to says this.
“From the sick and disgusting culture issues that drive us to the treacherous America Last policies of the Democrats, we’re done,” Taylor Greene insisted on Republican sentiment toward the opposing party.
A majority of Democrats, 67 percent, say they are against the idea of MTG, while 42 percent of Republicans disagree with it either.
A quarter of independent voters polled February 21-23 are in favor of a “national divorce,” but 63 percent are against it.
Overall, 9 percent of all voters aren’t sure how they feel about the radical idea of dividing the country into Republican and Democratic states.
But the mere fact that more than a third of the country is open to the potential shows the growing sense of resentment voters feel towards the opposing party.
A lot goes into deciding whether a state is red or blue, such as recent elections, current leaders, and historical voting records of those who live in the jurisdiction.
Currently, 29 of the 50 states are run by Republican governors, and 24 states have voted Republican in at least three or four of the last four presidential elections. Just factoring in the 2022 Senate race, 27 states voted red.
Overall, the country would be fairly divided, with a slight bias toward red states that outnumber the democratic states. However, the population disparity would be huge, with the densest states leaning Democratic and those with more land mass but fewer people leaning Republican.
