The most liberal state in the union is Rhode Island, which surpasses those traditional liberal hotbeds of Massachusetts and Vermont, according to a new Gallup poll. All Headline News reports that of the nearly 100,000 Americans polled during a six-month period, a total of 32 percent of Rhode Islanders considered themselves politically liberal. Coming in second was Washington, D.C., followed by Connecticut and Vermont, which tied for third place.
we might be po but we’s proud, Mississippi ping.
Little Rhody is ONE loony place!
I don’t know - I moved from California to Arizona in 1996 and right now I am extremely pleased to be living in the state where our Gov’r has had the “gonads” to stand up to Obama where Law Enforcement is IMPORTANT! And we have the best Sheriff in Joe Arpaeo...So, #1 on my list is the grand canyon state of Arizona!
Considering Relocating? Think about Colorado Springs…
I f you or a CONSERVATIVE person is considering relocating, I’d invite you to tell them about this family values oasis. I’d personally suggest Northern Colorado Springs as being the best and the most conservative.
And just to lay my cards on the table, I am not in the Real Estate business and make nothing off anyone moving here. I just know that Soros and others have dumped millions into Colorado and have succeeding in taking over the state government for the first time in decades recently.
The Springs loses out to Denver and Boulder in the state elections but it is still close enough to make a difference.
Pass this along.
18. El Paso County, Colo.
Largest city: Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is the right-wing stronghold of Colorado. The Air Force Academy and NORAD are based in the county. About 19 percent of the population are civilian veterans, one of the highest rates in the nation. The other conservative influences are social: Focus on the Family is located in Colorado Springs, as are many other parachurch organizations. Colorado Springs was named by Money Magazine as the best big city to live in 2006.

Outside Magazine just ranking Colorado Springs as the best place to live.

Outside Magazine lists as a drawback that it might be get this TOO CONSERVATIVE for some people.
As you know, Money Magazine consistently usually ranks it number 1 as well.

Take America back starting at the center...
The list seems a bit off to me... maybe due to political bias or something else. Maybe it is because it was determined by the MSM (and appropriate polling groups) which would mean nothing...
The south is irredeemably and uniformly horrible. All of it. Texas especially. Don’t come here. Oklahoma too.
Live in the briar patch is hell . . .
New Jersey is #7? They’re kidding right? Taxes and the cost of living are ridiculous here.
Arizona would be higher on the list if we didn't have that damn BORDER PROBLEM!!! Seal the damn border now!!!
I’d love to move to Utah if I could get a job. The market just doesn’t seem to be what it is here in Cali for IT.
These surveys are inane and stupid.
One man’s paradise might be another person’s hell.
Might be moving to #2 very soon.
YEA !!!
We are TOP 5 !!

Texas 38 - really. I am moving to Texas in a month, after two years of research. let me guess, portland oregon is in the top 10 to 15 ( I should just say oregon) Barf
NJ is number 7! My homestate of NY is right in the middle at 24.
I would venture to say that the top 10 livable states in the US are the states that have the least illegal aliens per capita.
The key is to find a nice small/medium sized city with a university in one of the lower ranked states (for instance Knoxville TN). Then you get the best of both worlds — higher income and education plus low taxes etc.
One thing that stands out for me is that highest rated states are noted for having serious winter weather. In Utah, SLC gets more than enough snow (and has no shortage of lunatic drivers), but when you get into northern UT or up in the mountains, they can be positively buried.
Wyoming’s winters are justly famous. We like to say that it’s a nice day when the snow is falling straight down. Usually it fits the Wyoming joke that “we’ve had only one snowstorm since the earth was born - it just keeps gettin’ blown around the state....”
Winters tend to drive the grifters and riff-raff out to somewhere where they don’t have to work quite so hard. This can be seen in Europe’s nations as well. The spendthrift nations are the ones on the Med, and the northern tier nations are prosperous and pretty peaceful.
California is number 30, how about dead freaking last. California is the nuthouse with a terrible climate of fires, droughts, and deserts.
I was in the Fargo airport just this morning. It’s the first airport I can recall in which the lounge TV monitors were Fox and not CNN.
