“#Fuggedaboutit! New Jersey is the most-hated state in America<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n The polls are in and it turns out, New Yorkers were right all along: New Jersey is<\/em> the most-hated state in America.<\/p>\n

According to calculations by BestLife magazine<\/a>, only 28 percent of New Jersey\u2019s population has \u201cstate pride,\u201d and it is loathed most by people in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut \u2014 giving it a \u201chatred index\u201d of 818.<\/p>\n

The Hatred Index was formed by \u201ccalculating the percentage of the population that has recently moved out of each state\u201d and combined with a Gallup Poll showing state pride \u201cdefined as the percentage of people who agreed with the statement that their state is \u2018the best or one of the best possible states to live.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, the mag looked at \u201cthe findings of illustrator and amateur researcher Matt Shirley, who polled his 320,000 Instagram followers from across the country in 2020 to discover which state they hate the most<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Jersey has a \u201chatred index\u201d of 818<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe then factored in the population of the states that hated on each state to measure the volume of hostility hurled in every state\u2019s direction \u2026 These results were compiled into an algorithm that produced the final score of our Hatred Index, wherein the higher the number, the more hated that state is,\u201d the mag wrote.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the top 10 most-hated states were: Texas, California, Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Alabama and Kansas.<\/p>\n

New York came in as the 11th most-hated, with 41 percent of state pride, people in Massachusetts hating us the most and a \u201chatred index\u201d of 207.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the least-hated states were out west: Utah, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming \u2014 with Idaho \u201cwinning\u201d as the least-hated state.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
