Still #35, not bad. I would have thought Illinois was dead last from reading this forum. One thing is consistent with all these polls though. The bottom 7 is comprised of all southern states and Alaska.

The polls can not be relied upon- their metrics could mean absolutely nothing in your personal case-you group together crime, wages, healthcare costs, taxes and education and average it out for each state- does not make sense at all overall.
Forget about it...

However many articles are posted, 5 years of population loss says otherwise

yep, mississippi, arkansas, alabama, are usually the bottom 3 in almost every poll like this..

now, of course, there is one poll that Illinois and Chicago always rank near the top of the nation in..
