2004 election results - average state IQ comparison

Not saying this proves anything, and apologies if it's been posted before.

Voting trends compared to average State IQ and arranged in descending order.

State average IQ Tests administered by Ravens APT and the test group. Reported in IQ and the wealth of Nations and again in the Economist.

Mmm i can't argue with Mr Zero facts.
But i did find something strange
But please vist this site http://66.165.133.65/politics/satire/gop.asp

quote:
Every election cycle brings its share of subtle (and not-so-subtle) humor pieces proclaiming that measurements have determined one candidate's intelligence to be much higher than another's, or George W. Bush that studies have found supporters of a particular candidate or party are, in general, significantly smarter as a group than supporters of the opposite party. It seems no satirical article that makes reference to a "study" (usually conducted by a fictitious academic or political group), no matter how broadly written, won't be mistaken by some readers for a valid news report. (A similar item from 2001 fooled many a news publication and is still occasionally cited as a genuine by gullible reporters.)

The item excerpted above provides plenty of clues that it is satirical in nature (and about whom it's satirizing): Besides its general premise regarding a supposedly inverse relationship between intelligence and support for President Bush, it also notes that persons with IQs in the 60-80 range are more likely to support Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (a NASCAR driver) than Senator John Kerry in the presidential election, that there is a "direct correlation between the number of preset Country Western stations on car radios and Bush's approval rating," and that "Bush supporters argue against [polls predicting an Electoral College tie] because the word College angers them."

This article is in fact the work of politic satirist Will Durst, a 9 September 2004 example of one of the columns he publishes on a semi-weekly basis.

George Bush being re-elected is even better example of ''people will believe anything''

Ok, so it's a hoax. But at least we can all agree that voting for Bush IS dumb, right?

As Zero says, this does not necessarily prove anything, unless you can show a link. If you compare coastal states to heartland states you will find all sorts of such divisions- productivity, population, finances...

More telling are voter feedback statistics, and most certainly Kerry got the graduate vote. Also the young vote, and I believe (but have no facts to hand right now) that the young-to-old ratio is much higher in the blue states also.

So right now, all we have is "Kerry votes come from places that are more likely to produce people with higher standard IQ test results," rather than "smart people voted for Kerry, dumb for Bush."

Meanwhile... are they SURE Minnesota has an average IQ of 85? That's ridiculous; that's a result you would expect from a poverty-stricken Eastern European country.

BTW, The Economist, I read, has retracted this piece on the grounds that they could not independantly verify it.
