Illinois has been named the most hated state in America, according to a list shared by World According to Briggs on YouTube.
While some might expect states like California to top the list, Illinois took the lead, with much of the blame directed at Chicago.
The Windy City is often seen as the face of Illinois, and for many outside the Midwest, the state’s identity is unfairly tied to Chicago’s issues.
Concerns about crime, harsh winters, and high taxes in the city have led many to paint the entire state with the same brush.
While Illinois may face challenges, it’s important to remember the state has much to offer, and not all residents agree with the negative perceptions. For more on the poll, visit 101 The Eagle.
