"The United States prides itself on being a union of independent states, each with their own unique reputation, personality, and aesthetic. After seeing an excellent poll that asked Europeans what they thought of other European countries, we talked to our polling partner SurveyMonkey Audience to expand the questions and try it on Americans, to see how they felt about other states. The results were hilarious, informative and tell you everything you need to know about the dynamic between the states. We asked respondents — 1603 of them — to answer each question with a state that wasn't their own. The poll was carried out using SurveyMonkey's Audience feature, which was more accurate predicting the 2012 election than numerous traditional pollsters. The following maps show that data. Look under each map for details when it comes to the color scale. The darkest color had the highest number of votes, the whitest color had next to none." http://www.businessinsider.com/poll-how-americans-feel-about-the-states-2013-8 [less]
Except that New York does not have an accent.
With such a poll, you'd want at least 100 respondents per state for a viable poll.
But the questions and answers were so obvious it didnt matter.
If anyone is remotely surprised by ANY of the results please say so.
New York is the rudest but California is the craziest. Illinois gets mentioned for absolutely nothing. Pennsylvania and Washington are also ignores. Seems right. Except NYers aren't rude.
Speaking of interesting start-ups - Survey Monkey continues to be an interesting case.
Notice California is the favorite.
Notice California is the most crazy and most overrated.
