well skimmed it honestly. It is estimates for 2012.
It doesn't seem exactly correct to me though.
There are large population differences between the states, so large states in population like California and New York would pull the national averages, but remember that the national averages are above 50% in most all polls. This only has 12 states above 50% so those large states in the 12 would have to be pulling the overall average up. Now look at two other large states, Florida and Texas. And look at the low numbers for so many other states. I just can't see those 12 states pulling up the average for the other 38 to the national average above 50. California is right at 50, NY barely above, Texas is at 33. Fairly large states like Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania below 50. I don't see any way that would work out. I think these estimates are low.
Eta there is a story in todays chatt. Paper w a different graphic
