Which states are the most patriotic?
The study examined various factors, including the level of search interest for “national anthem lyrics” and “The Star-Spangled Banner” lyrics as well as total daily search volumes for both search terms which were adjusted volume to account for population. The lower the overall search index score, the higher level of patriotism accredited for each state.
A disclaimer from Casionos.com: “While these findings may raise eyebrows, it is crucial to emphasize that the study’s objective was not to disparage the patriotism or love for the country among residents of any state. Instead, it aimed to shed light on the relationship between a state’s interest in the national anthem lyrics and the expression of patriotic sentiments during this important national holiday.”
