IQ and Politics - Do lower income, lower IQ voters, Elect our Leaders?
Questions....does this seem accurate to you....it does, to me. If you disagree, please post why....
Does this data provide an explanation about the state that the country is in, to a large degree, a smaller degree, or not at all?

1. Support on this chart's data from http://www.isteve.com/04NovA.htm - a major hoax exposing site:
"The State IQ hoax claiming that Democratic states have much higher IQs (Connecticut = 113) than Republican states (Utah = 87) flared up again, with just one website publishing the fictitious table reporting 540,000 hits.. This time, however, lots of people immediately linked to my debunking from last May, providing iSteve.com with its busiest day ever on 11/5/04.
By the way, this page makes a good faith attempt to estimate average IQs by state from SAT and ACT scores. The methodology is far from bulletproof, but the author's results sound not too implausible: his estimates range from an average of 94 in Mississippi and South Carolina to 104 in New Hampshire. If you can think of a better way to do it, send the author an email."

No state carried by the Kerry vote in 2004 had income below $28,831 or average IQ below 99.
DC is an interesting exception. 19 state carried by Bush in 2004 had average income below $28,831, an IQ average of 97 or lower, or both.
Colorado......102 $34,238 Bush
Montana.......102 $25,920 Bush

Floria........ 98 $30,446 Bush
Texas......... 97 $28,372 Bush
South Carol... 94 $26,132 Bush
Mississippi... 94 $23,448 Bush
10 states, plus DC, had IQ levels of 97 or lower. Among them, (excluding DC) Georgia had the highest per capita, 2003 income, $29,442.
All ten of these states, (DC voted for Kerry) were carried by Bush in 2004.
