Younger voters foresee potential state secession from US

A recent survey shows that many younger voters and minority groups in the U.S. believe that some states may want to break away from the country. This idea of "secession" suggests a deepening divide in American politics. According to the poll by John Zogby Strategies, 41% of voters aged 18-29 think secession is likely. The numbers are also significant among black voters (39%) and Hispanics (51%). Pollster Jeremy Zogby expressed concern about these findings, noting that younger voters represent the future of the electorate. This survey comes against a backdrop of rising tensions, with reports of violence against businesses associated with figures like Elon Musk. Recent protests have highlighted extreme reactions from some liberal groups against Trump and his followers. The survey also indicates that younger voters are increasingly shifting their support from Democrats to Republicans. Many believe this trend could last for a long time. Some politicians, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, are promoting the idea of a "national divorce" between blue and red states. Zogby has tracked this sentiment over the years and notes that a significant number of Americans are worried about the country's future. Currently, 59% of those surveyed believe the nation is drifting further apart, while only 25% think it is coming together. Both Zogby and other experts suggest this division is not the fault of one party alone. They warn that these tensions could escalate into more serious conflicts if not addressed.
