As Americans flee blue states and migrate to red states, thereby endangering Democrats by changing census numbers, CNBC hilariously listed the “10 worst states to live in for 2026.”
Needless to say, every state chosen was a red state: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
To make it abundantly clear just how partisan the report was, take a look at the smorgasbord of issues that the states were targeted for:
Alabama: lack of mental health providers per capita, lack of worker protections
Arkansas: Food insecurity, violent crime, weak protections against discrimination
Georgia: few protections for LGBTQ+ people, minimal worker protections
Indiana: lack of childcare availability
Louisiana: high crime rate, removal of affirmative action, strict abortion bans
Missouri: violent crime
Oklahoma: strict bans on abortion, worker protections
Tennessee: focus on the traditional nuclear family, violent crime
Texas: highest rate of people without health insurance
Utah: air quality
After pointing out that CNBC did a masterful job cherry-picking issues with its list, it should be noted that Louisiana and Missouri, which are cited for violent crime, rank 6th and 9th in the nation, according to Open Crime; the District of Columbia is 1st, and California and Colorado (places not seen on the CNBC list) ranked 7th and 8th.
Now let’s take a look at the net domestic migration for the most recent year. Notice anything?

Yup. Of the “10 worst states” according to CNBC, Alabama ranks 7th in the number of people who have moved there, Arkansas 12th, Georgia 6th, Indiana 14th, Louisiana 46th, Missouri 13th, Oklahoma 11th, Tennessee 4th, Texas 2nd, and Utah 26th.
Meanwhile, the five worst states were the leftist bastions of California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
Americans voting with their feet are stomping on the leftist notion that red states are bad places to live.
And it’s making leftists nuts.
