U.S. States As Seen From Other States

Business Insider, via Ritholtz:
After seeing an excellent poll that asked Europeans what they thought of other European countries, we talked to our polling partner SurveyMonkey Audience to expand the questions and try it on Americans, to see how they felt about other states.
The results were hilarious, informative and tell you everything you need to know about the dynamic between the states.
We asked respondents — 1603 of them — to answer each question with a state that wasn't their own. The poll was carried out using SurveyMonkey's Audience feature, which was more accurate predicting the 2012 election than numerous traditional pollsters. 
They put together 22 maps from the survey here.  Here is a summary map combining the data:

 I agree with a pretty decent percentage of these.  You can tell that not too many people from outside the Midwest are enthused with the beautiful farmscape in the breadbasket of the world.
