59% of TX DEMs? Counterintuitive or outright bullshit? Outlier poll for sure. Anyway, DO let Dumbassitan go.

Two-thirds of Southern Republicans say they support breaking away from the U.S. and forming their own country with nearby states, while nearly half of Democrats on the West Coast would do the same.
A 66 percent majority of Republicans in 13 Southern states including Texas and Florida are in favor of seceding from the union, according to a poll released Wednesday by Bright Line Watch. Half of all independents in the South agreed, while only 20 percent of Southern Democrats were on board.
Support for forming a breakaway country reached 47 percent among Democrats in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. One-third of West Coast independents, or 33 percent, were in favor of succession, along with 27 percent of West Coast Republicans.
A smaller share of respondents from other regions agreed. In 13 Midwest states, support was highest among independents, 43 percent of whom wanted to secede. In Northeastern states, 39 percent of Democrats were in favor of leaving the U.S. and forming their own country, while 43 percent of Republicans in states near the Rocky Mountains said the same.
The poll was conducted between June 26 and July 2. Polling firm YouGov surveyed 2,750 U.S. adults, while a sample of 327 political science experts also participated in the poll. A margin of error was not listed.
The political science experts who responded to the poll were asked to rate several political events on the normality and importance of each event. Multiple events related to former President Donald Trump's repeated false claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election were rated both "abnormal" and "important" or "mostly important."
Newsweek reached out to the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee for comment.
