Poll: N.C. most popular state among U.S. citizens

Triangle Business Journal - October 6, 2006

A recent poll of more than 9,000 U.S. citizens names North Carolina as the most desirable state in which to live.

The "Anholt State Brands Index," which was created by government advisor Simon Anholt and conducted from May 25 to June 12, found that American participants ranked North Carolina first and Virginia second as the top two states in which they would prefer to live.
Florida, Colorado and Oregon rounded out the top five states, respectively, in terms of domestic participants.

The poll also collected data from 12,000 foreigners. Results of the global survey ranked California and Florida, respectively, as the two most popular states in which to live among international respondents. North Carolina ranked sixth in the global poll.
