Poll: More states blue than red
UPI ^ | February 1, 2010

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Two New England states were the most Democratic U.S. states in 2009 and two Mountain states were the most Republican, a poll indicates.

Rhode Island and Massachusetts, along with the District of Columbia, were the bluest, while results, based on aggregated data from the Gallup Poll Daily tracking in 2009, painted Utah and Wyoming the reddest, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said Monday.

Garbage. It ignores state history in voting preferences.

The color scheme is not historically accurate. Red was long been used to symbolize Marxism and the radical left, and now it’s applied to conservatives and Republicans. Can nothing be done to change this?

I think this poll is an attempt to discredit the Virginia-New Jersey-Massachusetts string of wins related to the Tea Part movement, as a part of a larger attempt to discredit the movement itself. This is Alinskyism at its best/worst.

The map is just laughable... the Mountain West, Plains States and the South should be colored Red. Gallup is trying to make it seem 2010 is still 2008! No cigar for them, amigos!

I knew Gallup was BS. The only state where EVERY county voted against Obama. It’s more RED than Texas.

Who did this study again?? It’s totally inaccurate like it came from snopes or something.

Missouri as a whole DOES NOT LEAN MORE DEMOCRAT....

St Louis, Kansas city, Columbia perhaps. Rest of the state NO DICE. We are CONSERVATIVE.

Ohio is solid Democratic? Mississippi is competitive? It looks something Axelrod drew for Obama to try to convince him that Berlin Massachusetts was still safe.

This is what illegal immigration can do to a country. We’re headed over the same cliff England went over.

What better way to achieve their goals than to let the collectivists take over?

I am seriously beginning to wonder if the “wings” do indeed provide the fuselage with all the lift, so to speak.

It’s too bad the wackjob Alex Jones has thoroughly salted this field of possible explanations for the madness all around us.

Over-population is a growing problem. It’s not a stretch to image these power mongering sociopaths devising a crazy scheme to kill many birds with one collectivist stone.

All I have are questions at this point. You know, the information IV, ‘n all...trickle...trickle...trickle....

A year ago the punk president told everyone that anyone making $250K was middle class, and now today those same people are wealthy.

I have a feeling the map is going to look a lot more red than blue come November.

You are right. Good grief...Missouri “leans democratic?” Take a look at the county Presidential voting maps. Kansas City and St. Louis proper are solid Democrat, but the suburbs have plenty of Republicans. I’m in Columbia and while any loon associated with MU typically leans left, there are plenty of Republicans here,too...hell, I think Bush won Boone County in 2004. These idiots at Gallup are clueless.

All through the time I was growing up, Republicans were usually blue, and Democrats were usually Red, up until the USA Today switched the colors with great fanfare a few elections ago.

Ever since, it’s been Red States vs. Blue States.

I blame USA Today.
