Voters are in favor of Texas in its dispute with the Biden Administration. This was revealed by a recent survey carried out by Rasmussen Reports between January 23 and 25. They used a sample of 940 likely voters who were overwhelmingly in favor of Greg Abbott.
According to the survey results, 69% of the respondents support the construction of a border wall and the barbed wire placed to stop the migratory influx. In turn, 51% said they "strongly" support Texas's border security crusade.
The survey also focused on the controversy over the 'civil war.' They asked respondents the following question: "Do you agree or disagree with this statement about the border dispute between Texas and the federal government: "The feds are organizing a civil war and Texas should stand its ground"?" Of the respondents who answered the survey, 55% expressed themselves in favor and 36% against.
Recently, 25 Republican governors signed a letter endorsing Abbott. "The authors of the U.S. Constitution made clear that in times like this, states have a right of self-defense, under Article 4, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution. Because the Biden Administration has abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has every legal justification to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation," they wrote.
Kay Ivey (Alabama), Mike Dunleavy (Alaska), Sarah Sanders (Arkansas), Ron DeSantis (Florida), Brian Kemp (Georgia), Brad Little (Idaho), Eric Holcomb (Indiana), Kim Reynolds (Iowa), Jeff Landry (Louisiana), Tate Reeves (Mississippi), Mike Parson (Missouri), Greg Gianforte (Montana), Jim Pillen (Nebraska), Joe Lombardo (Nevada), Chris Sununu (New Hampshire), Doug Burgum (North Dakota), Mike DeWine (Ohio), Kevin Stitt (Oklahoma), Henry McMaster (South Carolina), Kristi Noem (South Dakota), Bill Lee (Tennessee), Spencer Cox (Utah), Glenn Youngkin (Virginia), Jim Justice (West Virginia) ) and Mark Gordon (Wyoming) attached their names to the end of the letter.
The only Republican governor who did not sign was Phil Scott of Vermont, who had already been the exception among his conservative colleagues by not signing a letter to the president demanding more information about the situation on the border with Mexico.
