This is the second report on the Homeland Institute’s third poll which was conducted through November, 2023 on the topic of national divorce and a number of related issues.
The first report covered the issues of democracy, polarization and balkanization. This second part covers national divorce, redrawing state lines, and the public perception of the different levels of government. Here are some major highlights from Part 2:
We found that 25.4% of all respondents and 32.2% of Republican respondents agreed at least a little with the statement that “America’s political divide is becoming so great that we may be better off allowing some states to secede and go their own way.”
We found that few people feel that any level of government cares about their interests. Republican respondents feel uncared for the most, with suburban Republicans feeling slightly more uncared for than rural Republicans.
Support for the federal government is abysmal, with only 19.5% of all respondents, 8.6% of Republicans, and 36.3% of Democrats at least somewhat agreeing that the federal government cares about their interests.

“Most of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behind”
