MAJORITY OF TEXANS WOULD STAY

75% of Texans believe that the Lone Star state should remain a part of the United States, despite the recent media coverage of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's comments at a tea party on Wednesday that "We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that?" 18 percent would opt to secede and 31 percent believe Texas has the right to secede and form an independent country, while 7 percent of Texans were unsure about any option.
