Looks as if the biggest contrast in the “No” states is DC.
The “No” states are even pretty close to being a “yes”.
Well, yes and no. As a Statistician, I would be remiss if I did not point out that, because of the smaller spread in percentages and smaller sample sizes, the differences in the following six states are "too close to call," as in not being statistically different:
Hawaii
Illinois
Delaware
New Jersey
North Dakota
Vermont
However, in some of those states, the trend mirrors the national averages, and it would be my guess that, given a larger sample, these, too, would be primarily "Yes."
Then again, is anyone surprised by the closeness of percentages in Obama's "home state" of illinois and "birth state" of Hawaii?
