Results of Research of 4,375 US Adults Across Seven Separate States Shows Mixed Reactions to Idea of Splitting US Into Multiple Countries:

In seven separate pieces of research, SurveyUSA interviewed 625 adults in each of 7 US states on the topic of splitting the United States into two or more countries based on political divisions.

Research was conducted in six southern states (Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida), and in Hawaii. Respondents in the southern states saw state-customized versions of largely the same questionnaire, while Hawaii respondents were shown a number of Hawaii-specific questions and some of the questions from the southern surveys.

Click the links above to view fully crosstabbed results for each state; highlighted top-line results compared from state to state follow:

Majorities in each of the southern states say they want to continue to share a country with the states that usually vote for Democrats, with margins ranging from 36 points in Florida to 22 points in Louisiana. In Texas, although 60% would support peacefully becoming an independent country, 54% say they do want to continue sharing a country with Democratic-voting states. In Hawaii, where the question was "flipped" to instead ask about continuing to share a country with states that usually vote for Republicans, a 24-point plurality would want to continue sharing, 45% to 21%.

Respondents in each of the southern states and Hawaii say they trust their own state government more than they trust the federal government in Washington, DC. Those in Alabama and South Carolina are the most likely to trust their state governments more, by 31 and 27 point margins, respectively; those in Florida and Hawaii are the least likely, by 13 and 12 point respective margins.

Which would be a better place for respondents and their families – a very large country governed by Democrats, or a large country governed by Republicans? Alabamans would prefer the Republican-run country by a 20-point margin, Mississippians by 17 points, Louisianans and South Carolinians by 10 points; Floridians by 7 points. Texans, perhaps unexpectedly, prefer the Democrat-run country by a 5-point margin (likely because Texas Republicans are twice as likely to be unsure than Texas Democrats are on this question); Hawaiians would prefer the Democrat-run country by a 26-point margin.

Respondents in the southern states and Hawaii would by double digits support separating into separate countries if the US, Canada, and Mexico were all currently one country.

Majorities in each southern state and in Hawaii say Congress should just let the state go if any of California, Texas, or Hawaii voted to declare its intention to negotiate peacefully with Congress to leave the union. There is relatively little variance across the seven states polled and across the three states being asked about; on average, 57% say the state should be allowed to leave; 37% say economic sanctions should be used; 6% would back a military attack to keep the state in the union.

Asked to choose which of two plans are more likely to achieve the goals of state conservatives (progressives and liberals in Hawaii), respondents prefer Plan A, focusing only on trying to win and keep control of the federal government to Plan B, focusing on convincing conservative states and liberal states to become separate countries. Plan A out-polls Plan B by margins of 16 to 27 points in the South, and by 7 points in Hawaii.

Majorities in 5 southern states and Hawaii, as well as a large plurality in Texas say they would prefer their state remains part of the United States. 25% in Hawaii and 21% in Texas would prefer to see their state become fully independent. Smaller numbers in each of state would like to see their state join with other states to form a new country.

Respondents in Texas (by 20 points), Louisiana (13 points), Mississippi (11 points), and Hawaii (9 points) would each support the idea of their state holding a vote to find out whether voters want to peacefully separate from the US. Those in Florida (by 11 points), South Carolina (6 points), and Alabama (a nominal 2 points) are opposed.

While holding a vote sees some clear support in some states, the idea of actually setting a date to be independent from the US, recruiting other states to join a federation, and peacefully negotiating a withdrawal from the US, even if it is uncertain whether other states would join, is supported only in Texas, and there by a small 7 point margin. The margin of opposition in the south ranges from a low of 4 points in Louisiana to 23 points in Florida.

Pluralities in 5 southern states and Hawaii, and a majority in Florida, say they oppose the idea of Congress negotiating the peaceful separation of the US into two countries. Opposition ranges from a 5-point margin in Texas and Louisiana to 22 points in Florida and 23 points in Hawaii.

Pluralities in each of the seven states polled would not donate any volunteer time to political movements working to lead their state out of the union; majorities in most states (and a plurality in Texas) would not donate any money to these efforts.

How would respondents in the South and in Hawaii react if, in the future, powerful conservative members of the military or a conservative president announced that they were in the process of taking military control of the US, to prevent it from being governed by Democrats? Majorities or near-majorities would resist; an average of 19% would resist violently, an average of 33% non-violently; an average of 17% would not resist.

Pluralities in 5 southern states and Hawaii would support their state forbidding state or local government cooperation with federal actions that violate the US Constitution; pluralities in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Hawaii support the idea of their state imitating Utah's new law that allows that state's National Guard to transfer equipment to the state defense force.

In Hawaii-specific questions...
  • 84% say that if Hawaii were to become an independent country, all residents of Hawaii should have the right to vote; 16% say only indigenous Native Hawaiians should be able to vote in an independent Hawaii. Among Native Hawaiians, 39% say only Native Hawaiians should be able to vote.
  • 28% say Hawaii's economy would improve "a lot" if Hawaii were no longer under US laws regarding shipping between US ports; 38% say the economy would improve "somewhat." 34% say it wouldn't improve much.
  • Does the US have a moral right to keep control of Hawaii by force if Hawaii votes to become independent? 35% of Hawaii adults say yes (12% very much, 23% somewhat); 65% say no (33% not at all, 32% "no, it would be wrong.")
  • 43% would support (13% strongly support, 30% support) the idea of Hawaii creating a back-up system for transferring funds between banks; 27% oppose (16% somewhat oppose, 11% strongly oppose).

1Some people don't vote regularly. Others vote only in presidential elections, but not in minor elections. And still others vote in every election. What about you?

2This survey is about possible responses to the political problems some may see in the United States, and the solutions some people have proposed. We're specifically interested in Hawaii's attitudes toward the idea of making the US into two or more separate countries.

If Hawaii became an independent country and was no longer a part of the US, who would you prefer to have voting rights in Hawaii?

3Now for all these questions, assume that all residents of Hawaii would get citizenship and voting rights in Hawaii. Also assume that the mainland would continue to control the naval base at Pearl Harbor, and protect Hawaii from foreign countries to prevent China from gaining a naval base there.

Do you want Hawaii to continue to share a country with the states that usually vote for Republicans?

9US law requires shipping between US ports to be done by US crews on US-flagged ships built in the US. This makes shipping to Hawaii from the US expensive. It makes cruises within Hawaii expensive. And cruises to Hawaii from the West Coast are too expensive unless they stop in a foreign country first. If Hawaii were no longer under this US law, and Hawaii still didn't require visas for US tourists, how much do you think Hawaii's economy would improve?

10The US acquired control of Hawaii through an 1893 coup against the Queen of Hawaii. Today, do you feel that the US has a moral right to keep control of Hawaii by force if Hawaii votes to become independent?

12Which would you prefer Hawaii do? Join a country formed only from states that lean Democrat, primarily on the West Coast and East Coast? Join a new country formed from Hawaii and the West Coast?

18How would you react if, in the future, powerful conservative members of the military or a conservative president announced that they were in the process of taking military control of the US, to prevent it from being governed by Democrats?

19The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill to create a process for the state legislature to forbid state government or local government cooperation with federal actions that violate the US Constitution. Would you support or oppose a law like this for your state?

20Some states have a state defense force that answers to the governor, not to the president. It serves the state's needs even when the president sends the state's National Guard elsewhere. Do you support or oppose the idea of Hawaii imitating Utah's new law that allows that state's National Guard to transfer equipment to the state defense force?

21The federal government can force banks to do what it wants to bank customers because it has control over the system that banks use to transfer money with each other. Do you support or oppose the idea of your state creating a back-up system for transferring funds between banks?

2This survey is about possible responses to the political problems some may see in the United States, and the solutions some people have proposed. We're specifically interested in Hawaii's attitudes toward the idea of making the US into two or more separate countries.

If Hawaii became an independent country and was no longer a part of the US, who would you prefer to have voting rights in Hawaii?

3Now for all these questions, assume that all residents of Hawaii would get citizenship and voting rights in Hawaii. Also assume that the mainland would continue to control the naval base at Pearl Harbor, and protect Hawaii from foreign countries to prevent China from gaining a naval base there.

Do you want Hawaii to continue to share a country with the states that usually vote for Republicans?

9US law requires shipping between US ports to be done by US crews on US-flagged ships built in the US. This makes shipping to Hawaii from the US expensive. It makes cruises within Hawaii expensive. And cruises to Hawaii from the West Coast are too expensive unless they stop in a foreign country first. If Hawaii were no longer under this US law, and Hawaii still didn't require visas for US tourists, how much do you think Hawaii's economy would improve?

10The US acquired control of Hawaii through an 1893 coup against the Queen of Hawaii. Today, do you feel that the US has a moral right to keep control of Hawaii by force if Hawaii votes to become independent?

12Which would you prefer Hawaii do? Join a country formed only from states that lean Democrat, primarily on the West Coast and East Coast? Join a new country formed from Hawaii and the West Coast? Become completely independent from other states, except for economic trade agreements and military alliances? Or remain in the US?
