  • A new Leger poll revealed that 20 percent of Americans said they wanted their state to join Canada and secede from the union.

According to a recent poll by the Angus Reid Institute, approximately one in five Americans would support their state seceding from the United States to join Canada. This sentiment is particularly strong among Democrats, with 30% expressing a desire to leave the U.S., compared to only 11% of Republicans. The poll, which surveyed 1,625 Americans, highlights a significant political divide, with the desire to secede being most pronounced in states like California, Oregon, and Washington. The reasons cited for this inclination include dissatisfaction with the current political climate, particularly among those who feel alienated by the direction the country is heading under recent administrations. However, the feasibility of such a move remains highly speculative and complex, involving numerous legal, economic, and cultural considerations.
