With the results of the earlier primary-election states greatly affecting which candidates stay in the presidential race — raising the question of which state truly deserves the top spot in the primaries — the personal finance website WalletHub today released its 2020 Electorate Representation Index as well as accompanying videos.
To determine which states fairly represent the U.S. electorate, WalletHub compared the 50 states to the U.S. across five key categories: 1) Sociodemographics, 2) Economy, 3) Education, 4) Religion, and 5) Public Opinion.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the report’s findings or if you would like to schedule a phone, Skype or in-studio interview with one of our experts.

Full data sets for specific states are also available upon request.
