today I'm going to tell you what the most conservative states are and how many liberals
they have living in their conservative red states welcome back to the world according
to Briggs and yes believe it or not there is no such thing as a 100 conservative or liberal
State this is a video that had been asked for many times especially since just the other day
we did the liberal version of it subscribers said we should do this right away so here we
are this video is based on a study by Gallup they ask people if they consider themselves
liberals conservatives or moderates they had other questions there too but this is what
we're focused on I'll give you the explanation I gave in the last one liberalism is the predominant
left-leaning ideology and conservatism is the predominant right-leaning ideology all those
people that are in the middle that have some liberal views and some conservative views mix
of both those people are called moderates now like I mentioned the last one the main
conclusion of this study was that conservatives vastly outnumbered liberals in most U.S states
with 39 States showing a higher percentage of conservatives compared to liberals now it's
known and statistics show that conservatives tend to vote Republican and liberals tend to
vote Democrat I'm not saying they have to I'm just saying that's how it normally shakes out now that
being said the recent elections have been so close in recent years is moderates have been
leaning left they tend to vote for the Democrats just like the liberals do not always but an
swing a lot of Elections so why are we doing this video on this channel a lot of people don't like
political talks and all that well I'm really not taking sides in it I make fun of everyone
this channel focuses on where you might want to live we look at real estate prices cost living
Insurance prices rental prices personal finance and everything else someone might want to know if
they're moving to a new state city or county and when a lot of people are doing their research on
their move this is one of the things they want to know what is the political environment of
wherever they're moving to I don't get it I don't care how you vote I'll move wherever I want and
even if you vote 100 against what I believe I'll still invite you over let's take a look at my pig
maybe even feed it an apple alright before we get started let us know in the comments section which
state you think will be the most conservative State got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Missouri Missouri is a conservative State even if they have voted differently than
you'd expect a conservative state to vote throughout its history Missouri has often
served as a Bellwether for Party politics in the United States at state level the Democratic
party has tended to dominate over the years but missourians have elected Republican Governors and
returned the Republican majority to the general assembly on a number of occasions these days
they are thick with conservative Republicans the governor the lieutenant governor both senators and
six of the eight congressmen or women lean to the right now I have to say this so the
political junkies don't have a hissy fit in the comment section liberals and conservatives aren't
always Democrats or Republicans but if you look at the statistics liberals almost always vote for
Democrats conservatives almost always vote for Republicans there is a lot that goes into that
I understand but this is a 15-minute video not a hard-hitting documentary by Ken Burns narrated
by Peter Coyote these days Missouri is considered highly conservative according to the survey people
who identified as conservatives or conservative political identification was 41 of Missouri 20
percent of the people said that they were liberals ranking them 30th in the nation for liberals
number nine Arkansas I knew they'd be on the list I didn't know they'd be at number
nine I thought two or three the only thing that outnumbers conservatives in Arkansas
is probably people with addiction issues that's about it Arkansas has been a conservative State
since the dawn of time like Missouri it is smack dab in the middle of what they call
the Bible Belt and that makes sense because conservatives are known to be religious not
always I gotta throw those disclaimers in there but statistics show more than
likely if you're conservative you're somewhat religious Arkansas falls under the category of
Highly conservative their conservative political identification 41 of the state liberal political
identification 15 that ranks them 45th in the nation when it comes to liberals
number eight Tennessee now don't worry this entire list isn't just the South but there
sure are a lot of conservative Southern States Tennessee is considered highly conservative
again they're in the Bible Belt they have a long history of praying and moonshining and
obviously conservatism conservative political identification in Tennessee is 43 now because
of Nashville and the music scene they've picked up some liberals over the years
and a lot of Californians did move out there and they tend to be the artistic type which
again statistically shows they're probably going to be liberal well they've only got 17
percent of their population that identifies as a liberal ranking them 42nd in the nation
number seven Oklahoma hey look another state in the Bible Belt they're in a few different
belts they're well it's not a belt but they're in Tornado Alley they're in what they call the wheat
belt the Bible Belt obviously part of Oklahoma's in the Cotton Belt they're also in the I can't
take a joke belt Oklahoma is one of the most conservative States it's also one of the most
Republican states Oklahoma is one of two states that in both the 2016 presidential election and
2020 every single County voted Republican in the presidential election and just so you know the
other state was West Virginia and there was only two states that voted all Democrat in both those
elections Vermont and Hawaii conservative political identification in Oklahoma is
43 percent liberal political identification is 18 ranking them at number 37 in the U.S for liberals
number six Louisiana Louisiana is a little bit different it's a very conservative
States conservative States tend to be very religious and very conservative that's how
most Louisiana is and then you have New Orleans which is freaking insane most the
year at least in the French Quarter area it's almost like they're very conservative
but they turn a blind eye towards the French Quarter Louisiana is considered
highly conservative they're conservative political identification is 43 percent
they're liberal political identification is 15 ranking them 46 to the nation for liberals
number five South Dakota this one caught me off guard I actually thought they made
a mistake and meant South Carolina and I had to do some research and found out no it is in fact
South Dakota South Dakota's conservatives have a little bit of a different demographic going on
that other conservative states don't have and that's 30 percent of Generation X claim to be
conservatives in other conservative States you find that around 20 21 Baby Boomers make up 40
percent of South Dakota's conservatives I don't know how long South Dakota is going
to be considered a conservative State because they're Millennials it's nine percent in other
conservative States it's usually around 16 to 20 percent but right now South Dakota is
considered a highly conservative state with their conservative political identification
being 44 liberal political identification is 13 ranking them 49th in the nation which
means this is another state that has a lot of those middle of the road people
I don't know if they're progressives modern threats and everything in between
number four West Virginia if this one is a surprise to you you haven't been paying
attention West Virginia is Ground Zero for conservatism outside the Deep South
sure a lot of them might not know how to spell conservative but they're still conservatives
this is one of the few States in this country that has a good showing of conservatism inside
their Metro areas conservatism in rural areas and small towns tends to be in the 60 percent
area in the cities it tends to be under 10 percent Charleston West Virginia 25 percent
conservative but overall the state's conservative political identification
is 45 liberal political identification is 17 ranking them 43rd in the nation for liberals
number three Wyoming hey congratulations we made it out of the South again this one
I totally understand and I totally get it I would have thought they'd be earlier in the
list but here they are at number three Wyoming is big on their conservative values and a lot
of those values come from their religious beliefs conservatism religion usually go hand in hand now
keep in mind I said usually that won't stop a bunch of people going I'm conservative I don't
go to church what are you talking about okay like I always say I didn't have you in mind
when I made the video talking in general averages statistics things like that 72 percent of Wyoming
attends religious Services weekly or at least once or twice a month the national average for
that is 42 percent they like their God they like their guns and they like conservatism
Wyoming is considered highly conservative their conservative political identification
is 46 liberal political identification 18 ranking them 38th in the nation for liberals
number two Alabama yep back to the Deep South we go and we're staying in the Deep
South for the rest of this video Alabama is definitely in the Bible Belt they need
four things in their life Alabama football sweet tea church services and conservatism

made this list Idaho was number 11 with 40 conservatives Indiana was number 12 with 39
percent conservatives and Alaska would have been number 13 with 39 as well alright on to number one

was like one percentage point away from the next one on the list or they were tied all within
the 40s Mississippi jumps forward Four Points to number 50. they actually have 50 percent of their
population considers themselves conservatives their liberal political identification only
