New Hampshire is beautiful but the people...it's the Alabama of New England. I prefer Rhode Island. It's the state I spent the most time in outside of Massachusetts and I really love ocean culture there paired with the colonial, Italian, and Dominican influences. I'm not big on "cabin" culture. Providence has a great nightlife, the seafood is great, and it can go from dense urban to quintessential New England town (Little Compton, Burrillville) pretty quickly.

I'm a big fan of the beaches too. Connecticut's coast is a sad thing, covered in private property and sort of boring.

Connecticut people are intelligent and don't take BS from anyone. Too bad for some people on here if they can't handle that.

new york is a laughable state and doesn't even deserve inclusion on this list.

N Y is the list bc it shares a border with Mass. It may be laughable but it sure has a lot of sway in Conn!

I wonder why OP didn't pose the same qu on the Conn forum? Would MA get more love there than CT gets here?

New Hampshire: more conservative version of Massachusetts, more country, redneck
Vermont: more rural version of Massachusetts. Yuppies
Connecticut: eastern connecticut: rich yuppies and rich people who work in NYC. western connecticut: irrelevant
Maine: Cool people, but remote, no big cities, small town people but not as conservative as NH, or as yuppie as vermont.
Rhode Island: Massachusett's/Boston's ghetto.

OK, you have Connecticut mixed up. Western Conn has the NYC people and the rich yuppies; Eastern Conn has the Groton base, the casinos, and lots of nice countryside.
RI is wonderful.

One thing is clear from this poll, the people in the Mass. Forum on City-Data have a preference for rural. Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont are the top 3 picks and RI, CT, and NY are the bottom three.

Well probably because RI and Conn have many similaraties to Mass and Maine/NH/Vermont are more laid back, rural, and just different. When leaving the state many people seek out more palpable differences, which certainly are found in RI and Conn, just a whole lot moreso up in Northern New England.

New Hampshire is the most beautiful, and curiously the only true conservative New England State. Upstate NY is beautiful. I love my native Massachusetts, but locals are not the friendliest people, hence the local nickname 'M*******s'. Connecticut needs to be kicked out of New England, they seem to identify more as part of the tri-state area (with New York and New Jersey), and seldom vote for the New England teams
