Utah is #1 in This Category After the Election….

Answer: Most educated state who voted for President-elect Trump.

According to Axios.com (link to full article):

"Utah has more college graduates than any other state that President-elect Trump won in last week's election, according to a new Axios analysis.

The big picture: Education levels have emerged as a startlingly strong predictor of whether a state voted for Trump or Vice President Harris — but Utah bucks the national trend."

Interesting. I knew Utah had high college graduation rates but there's a lot of states that voted Trump so this is pretty impressive.

The article describes how Utah "has always been lukewarm on Trump." It talks about how Evan McMullin got a bunch of Republican votes back in 2016 and that diminished Trump's numbers in the Beehive State in his first election. But Trump won Utah this time by a fairly large margin.

Also, according to Axios: (link to full article)

"Utah — which has the 13th-largest share of college grads of any state at 38.3% of adults over 25 — went for Trump by more than 20%, according to preliminary vote tallies.

Nebraska is the only other state Trump won by that margin. More than 35% of adults over 25 there have obtained a bachelor's degree, per census data."

My view is Utah has always been red and that there's a big emphasis on education within the state culture and there's a bunch of colleges. So it makes sense that Utah is number one. Has Utah ever voted for a Democrat?

Apparently in 1964 Utah voted for LBJ...

Let me know in the comments if you knew that.
