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’re #49!
Heck, they did not even include “low taxes” in their determination, so I take all this with a grain of salt...
Most Livable State in the U.S.A. Is...
Inebriation.
Woo hoo! SEC! SEC! SEC!
This is a liveabililty survey that does not take into account things like weather? How horrible would it be to be stuck in freezing temps and snow for half the freakin’ year? Those better be some damn awesome autumn leaves to make up for that.
I don’t see any mention of taxation in a livability ranking. Nor cost of living. I’d like to see the rankings with those factors included.
We’re number 12....
Michigan No. 38?
What a joke. Michigan is a welfare hellhole controlled by fascists.
Drive through Northern Michigan and see nothing but boarded up downtowns. People there pick berries to make a few bucks because there are no jobs. Everyone there is scam artist, trying to land a paycheck by faking injuries so they can qualify for social security disability or workmen’s comp. The place is infested with big, fat welfare mommas who are given three bedrooms homes and all the beer their boyfriends can drink.
Nearly every profitable business has left that place and moved south. The few that are left live off various government loans and grants. The only growable crops are rutabagas.
The roads are cowpaths. Winter is featured for 8 months a year, with some places averaging 200 inches of snow per season.
The No. 1 sport is showing up at the bars at 7am, after a hard night breaking into vacant homes and ripping out copper, and trying not to fall off the barstool before 5pm. Arson pays well, too.
I wouldn't recommend Connecticut. Economically and socially it's going down hill and I don't see any change in direction for the near future. I'd tell my son when it's time “go south young man”. It's pretty much a dead end here.
Mississippi...if it wasn’t for the skeeters and poison ivy, we’d be top-ten fer shure.

Who died and made them king?
Oh wait, now I remember.
Glad Texas is toward the Bottom of the list
Its misirable here. Snakes and Scorpins every where. Hot and dry, nothing but Cactus and tumbleweeds.
The ground wont grow anything, and the cities are wastelands.
Stay away from Texas.
Well-educated population = arrogant, rude, self-absorbed democrats.

This poll is great news! It will help keep all the liberals away from the wonderful South!!
SC is 49. Tsk tsk.
Why is it these “livability” things always worship the snowbelt. The entire top 20 is in the snowbelt. No place that snows regularly is livable.
