Nearly one-quarter of Americans believe that states  have the right to secede, according to a recent poll from Rasmussen  Reports — up 10 percentage points in two years.

The latest poll is just one of many that shows that Americans have  “serious and growing concern about the federal government,” according to  Scott Rasmussen, founder and president of Rasmussen Reports.

According to the phone survey released Sunday, 24 percent of Americans believe that states should be  able to withdraw from the United States to form their own country, if  they want. Nearly 60 percent (59) of Americans say they don’t believe  states have the right to secede, while 16 percent are undecided.
