Yeah, seriously. Not only is California dominating the other states, it’s currently doubling up on “rest of world.”

I guess the abnormally high concentration of Illinoisans on the 'Dope is becoming less of a thing with the passing years.

When I go to a regular season SF Giants game when they’re playing the Cubs, I used to be surprised at how many Vubs fans are in the stands. Similarly for a Cardinals game, or Red Sox or Yankees. I suspect, but have no proof for this theory, that it’s because so many people have moved out to California from those places. I’m a transplant from the northeast myself.

Currently living in Colorado. Been here off and on since 1994. In about two years we will be moving back to the family farm in Skagit Valley Washington.

The same thing happens here in Denver. Granted the Rockies have sucked these past few years, but there is a sizable Cubs contingent every time they play at Coors Field.

If we can get a decent sample size (a couple thousand?), I’d be interested in cross-referencing with the real-world population distribution.

Indiana, but really a suburb of Cincinnati, the best little city nobody talks about.

What’s the correlation between the poll results and the ranking of each state’s population? (Post it January 1, 2015, John DiFool.)
