    Come to NC, and you'll see that the Deep South is very different from the "New South." North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia are quite different from Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.

    guess which states are the low IQ states

    The red jesuland states

    The southern state’s educational attainment rank was 35 and it ranked at No. 21 for quality of education.

    Colorado scored 71.24, Vermont scored 70.61 and Connecticut scored 70.47. Mississippi came in last place, scoring 21.01 points.

    SO THE OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE , LIBERAL CONCLAVE STATES ARE THE BEST EDUCATED...WHAT's YOUR POINT? AND WHAT ARE THE DEGREES IN .."SOCIOLOGY"? "EARTH GAIA SCEINCES"? ETC...
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    The second worst state is West Virginia, which has almost no blacks... Odd how that works.

    Graphic detail
    Nov 11th 2019
    IT WAS IN the 1970s that American politics began to polarise around voters’ levels of educational attainment. The Republican Party, until then a party of tweedy north-easterners, began recruiting less-educated southern whites, alienated by the civil-rights movement. Over time, the partisan gap between college-educated voters and less-educated ones widened. In 2016 it exploded. The Pew Research Centre, a think-tank, found that overall, college graduates favoured Hillary Clinton by 21 percentage points, while those without a degree backed Donald Trump by a seven-point margin. Among whites, the difference is greater: those without a college degree backed Mr Trump over Mrs Clinton by a margin of more than two to one.

    How far did this educational divide determine the outcome of the 2016 election? To answer this question, Michael Sances of Temple University collected data on presidential-election results and education levels in each of America’s 3,000-plus counties from 1972 to 2016. Mr Sances finds that the gap in support for Democratic candidates between the highest- and the lowest-educated counties grew significantly between 2012 and 2016, from about 16 percentage points to 28 percentage points (see chart). This disparity has grown especially quickly in midwestern swing states. In Iowa, for example, Hillary Clinton won 66% of the vote in better-educated counties, up from Barack Obama’s 61% share in 2012, but only 27% in less-educated ones, down from 46%.

    According to Mr Sances, this shift in political support was decisive to Mr Trump’s victory in 2016. Had the counties in the bottom 10% of the education distribution stuck to their voting behaviour in 2012, Mrs Clinton would have been tied with Mr Trump in the electoral college. Had the counties in the bottom 20% done so, she would have won. As the 2020 election approaches, Democrats will have to think seriously about how to bring less-educated voters back to their side. The party’s current focus on left-leaning government programmes such as Medicare for All, which tend to be popular with well-educated liberals but poll poorly among blue-collar white voters, are unlikely to tilt the scales back in their favour.

    https://www.economist.com/graphic-de...he-white-house
    Yes, I am aware of these studies, but it does not refute any of my statements. The charts that show Democratic vote in higher education counties is growing, but the full charts show Democrats were still most likely to win the counties with the lowest educational levels. The lower educational level are the most likely to vote Democratic. Unlike the OP, that is not something I see as a negative or something to denigrate these people for, just a fact.

    And "uneducated" is not the same as no degree. It is a description of the majority of Americans.

    Irrelevant. He couldn't win the electoral votes of a state unless he won that state's popular votes and he could not do it with just the rural white voters--he also needed the suburbs.

    That means more House seats and electoral votes.

    "The ten fastest growing states between 2017 and 2018 all were in the South and West, including Nevada, Utah, and Texas. Meanwhile, states in the Northeast and Midwest regions have grown more slowly than the 5.3 percent U.S. average population growth rate. In the Northeast particularly, population growth has lagged behind every other region in the country this decade.

    The biggest seat gains will likely be seen in Florida and Texas. Texas is likely to gain three congressional seats, Election Data Services projects that Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia will lose at least one congressional seat, with New York potentially losing a second, as well. California and Minnesota are borderline cases, with each facing the possibility of losing up to one seat."

    You would think those red states would be doing better since we are always being told the blue states are subsidizing them with tax dollars.

    That income redistribution idea of taking from the rich and giving to the poor seems to be counter-productive. We need to tell Sanders and Warren before they do something stupid.

    So the blue states were only giving the money to the 1%? That redistribution of wealth sounds worse than I thought.

    The left seems obsessed with the top 1%.
