Wicker and Wilde are always reading reports about which states are best in certain areas, like retiring, to live in, to raise a family and more - but Virginia rarely makes it in the top 10. Well we are in this one! A new survey has Americans sharing their thoughts on what makes the best state. Hey Virginia, we're number 3!! (Reminds us of the old Snapple Commercial - LOL!)
YouGov asked people to pick the better state in a series of head-to-head matchups, with Washington, DC included in the mix. The state topping the list had the best “win percentage,” meaning that’s how often they won in their head-to-head battle. Hawaii, won 69% of its head-to-head battles, with Colorado close behind with 65% of the wins. Although not an actual state, Washington, DC ranked at the bottom of the barrel, winning only 35% of its matchups. The two lowest actual states were Alabama and Mississippi, which both only won 38% of the time.
