Here’s some good news (kind of) for the cause of Constitutional Unionism: According to a new Rasmussen poll, only 31% of likely voters in Texas think the state has the right to secede.

When asked the question, “Do individual states have the right to leave the United States and form an independent country?” the numbers come out at 31% Yes to 55% No.

Rasmussen also asked this follow-up question: “If you could vote on the issue, would you vote for Texas to remain in the United States or to secede from the United States and form an independent country of Texas?” The numbers come out at 18% for secession, to 76% against it.
