How Americans Feel About Each State

Last edited Sat Sep 7, 2013, 08:22 PM - Edit history (1)


#19 Least Favorite State

Bad news, Texas: you lose the popularity contest. What can you expect, though, after threatening to secede from the Union so often?

#18 Favorite State

After their home states, the majority of Americans picked California as their favorite.

#15 Ugliest Residents

Sorry, Alabama. America thinks your people look... well, special.

#14 Most Beautiful Scenery

Colorado wins the beautiful scenery pageant, and it's clear why.

#13 Worst Scenery

Unless you're really into farms, the state of Kansas is probably not on your vacation list.

#12 Drunkest State

Congratulations go out to Louisiana, America's drunkest state.

#6 Dumbest State

Well, someone has to come last in just about any contest. Of course, this was just an opinion poll. According to the American Human Development Index, Mississippi is actually the third dumbest state. The true winner of this honor goes to West Virginia, followed closely by Arkansas.

I remember having friends come to Massachusetts for a visit and were freaked out because everyone was too nice and conversely, I found people alot less friendly then I expected when I visited the south.

Also when visiting a friend in Brooklyn, I went walking around to all the little shops to pick up some things to cook dinner and was shocked at how very friendly everyone was. Almost every shop I walked by had people outside talking to each other and saying hello to me. it was not what I expected from the reputation.

of them that good is far outweighed by the horrible people that live in them. Although I've never actually seen it, I'm told that even Texass has some pretty country.

I was amazed at how everyone just waved at each other.

Even the bus drivers.

Quite the culture shock after growing up in Brooklyn. LOL

I moved here to Georgia from South Florida and was amazed at how friendly complete strangers were.
