From today's Chronicle-interesting.
Do you consider yourself a Texan or an American?
Both, probably – but in a new poll by the Texas Tribune, more than half of Texans age 18-44 say they consider themselves a Texan first and an American second.
For Texans of all ages, the number who put state before country was a little lower – only about 1 in 4.
More by the numbers:
– Men were more likely than women to put Texas first: 32 percent to 23 percent.
– Hispanic Texans were more likely than Anglos to identifty as Texan first: 33 percent to 27 percent.
– Eighty-four percent of Texas Democrats identify as Americans first.
- Thirty-six percent of Republicans consider themselves a Texan first.
I'm a Native Texan and do not identify with them damn Yankees like Obama.
Likely a lot of the Dems in the Poll are transplants from up north and Calinutsoland, so that may explain why most Dems relate/identify as Americans over Texans.
