Congratulations Colorado! A poll conducted by “YouGovAmerica” confirms everything we already know about the Centennial State– it rules.

The pollsters explained, “We asked people, [Americans], to choose the better of two states in a series of head-to-head matchups. States are rated based on their ‘win percentage’, that is: how often that state won the head-to-head matchup when it was one of the two states shown. All 50 states were shown, in addition to Washington, D.C., but territories were not included.”

YouGovAmerica says Colorado ranked second overall because of its, “Scenic mountains, hiking paths, and recreational marijuana industry.”

The only state Americans think is better than Colorado? Hawaii. Apparently, its warm weather and beautiful beaches only tip the scale by a 4% margin!

The poll says the bottom ranking states performed so low because of matters involving income and healthcare access. You can read more about it here: U.S. States Ranked From Best to Worst

So what’s your favorite? Beaches or mountains?
