The six best-liked states were (1) Hawaii, (2) Montana, (tied for 3, 4, 5, and 6) Wyoming, Alaska, Washington, Maine. This was closely followed by (7) Virginia. In the case of Hawaii, the liked percentage was 56% higher than the disliked percentage.
On the other end, New Jersey was the only state where the dislikes were greater than the likes: 10% Alabama, Mississippi, and Illinois were the only states with fewer than 10% more likes than dislikes. California did not do very well, either; it was tied for 44th/45th with Arkansas.

Alaska did very well. The lure of the frontier is strong. And Hawaii must be a heaven in which you don't have to die first to see it.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Hawaii twice but only because my wife wanted to go. Nice place to visit. But like the saying goes, 'Home is where your stuff is'.
