WalletHub  by Tom Reynolds

A WalletHub* survey compared all 50 states across 12 indicators of patriotism using two factors: military engagement and Civic engagement.**

I would not view this as the most comprehensive survey possible but it is a random survey that apparently is not partisan.

New York State just missed last place: we were 49th as we received an overall score of 28.96 out of 100.  We were 49th for military engagement and 45th for civic engagement. 

We were nosed out by .23 hundredths of a point for last place.  But with the rise of Mamdani and the commies in New York City, we have a real shot at last place, in the future.

Or, we can vote as the future is not decided by any surveys or polls but by those who show up.
