I have no idea. What's odd is that so far all the states posted for secession are the poor ones and those against are the rich ones. That seems illogical.
I did a little searching and found that 24% of Americans recently polled favor the idea of their state seceding and that 53% oppose. According to that poll, Western states favor it more than Eastern ones. That seems a bit more logical but even there some of the poorest ones (e.g., New Mexico) are some of the strongest supporters while some of the richest ones (e.g., Connecticut) are most in opposition.
Here's a link:

In no state is it over 50%, so I guess that's the bottom line, if this poll is to be believed.
