I would call ND SD KS NE "Great Plains."

Idaho? Really?

As a Wisconsinite, I've always been confused why it's considered "midwest". Wisconsin is in the eastern half of the US, and at the very top. Should be called the "midnorth"

Well America used to be just a handful of colonies along the eastern seaboard, but then there was the whole manifest destiny thing. Going west meant heading out to the new frontier. Midwesterners are people who gave up midway.

Western Iowa gets awfully Great Plains-ish. I could see someone living there answering "no" to the survey.

25% confusion. Idaho is mid and west, but not midwest. Y'all Pacific Northwest.

Is Idaho 25% dumbasses? I've never been

Higher percent then that considering how OBGYN's are running from the state like its on fire due to post Roe stuff they've been doing.

Good point.

I'll give the western Midwest states a pass but the really confusing part here is how anyone in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Illinois/Indiana/Iowa/Ohio can think they aren't in the Midwest...

The Ohio River was once the border of the frontier. Some ways that border is still there.

wyoming and colorado are so high? like nah bro ur j west. also ohio being lower than illinois is nuts. maybe a lot of people in the appalachia region bc here in toledo we know where we are.

My bet with Wyoming is that most of the (admittedly small) population is in the Eastern part of the state, like Cheyenne and Laramie, if kinda makes sense they'd see themselves as more "Midwest"

It really feels like there's been some sort of movement in Ohio to disown being in the Midwest. I'm in north east Ohio and I know I'm in the Midwest.

It’s probably the same confused souls in Kentucky
