This study ranks the happiness of the 50 states. Do you believe it?

Most of the bottom 10 make sense to me. It is ironic that all three states in the local Tri-state area near me are in the bottom 7 and I am not all that suprised.

Live in the state year round and you may change your mind. Not too many people in the Cincinnati area are very happy to live here right now.

Don't listen to Adam, Bao. Adam lives in KY. Adam hates everything about Ohio (see his 578 posts on how Ohio has the worst drivers in the snow)

I think it would be cool to live in Montana.

Gallup surveys are VERY accurate, so yes, I believe that those are the correct results that they got. The question is, how large was the population studied, how large were the areas that they studied, and so forth. I used to live in WV and plan on moving back soon, and I was unhappy there, or so I thought, until I moved away. And everyone that I knew in WV is happy there.

This was what affected the results... depends on your definition of happiness I suppose.

Quote:
physical health, healthy behaviors (such as whether a person smokes or exercises)
I'm grew up in West Virginia... most folks are pretty happy-go-lucky and family oriented. The don't eat very healthy food... they tend to be overweight... and they enjoy smoking. If these three things count as "unhappy" in the poll - there is your answer.

Not true. I like Skyline Chili, Jeff Ruby's Steak House and Montgomery Inn. But they do have the worst drivers in the snow considering it is a winter weather state.

You do agree that Skyline is better than Gold Star, right?

Recent financial troubles probably aren't helping.

Are you kidding me? Michigan took 33rd over Ohio, Florida, and Rhode Island. No way in hell. As a resident for over 23 years I can confidently describe Michigan's top four traits as: Unemployment, deer related automobile accidents, car thefts, and unemployment. Just what about that produces a happy attitude?
