1. Mid Atlantic
2. NYC/ New England
3. Pacific Coast/ Hawaii

Those are the most liberal areas of the country!

As far as the result choices go, I'm not sure why NYC is with New England. New York is in the Mid Atlantic States. NYC has more in common with suburban Joisey and Baltimore than it does with New Hampshire and Maine.

Guess it's a question of perspective & choice of narrative method ...

1.  Pacific Coast/Hawaii
2.  NYC/New England
3.  Upper Midwest
4.  Mid-Atlantic
5.  Rocky Mountains/Alaska
6.  Rust Belt
7.  Upstate New York
8.  Desert Southwest
9.  Border States
10.  South Atlantic
11.  Deep South
12.  Texas
13.  Peripheral South

Seems about right... however, I'd live in Alaska way before I'd live in the Mid-Atlantic region mostly for aesthetic reasons.  I don't ever plan on living in the south.  Too hot and too conservative.

That was interesting as well.  I got the following result:

#1   Pacific Coast / Hawaii

#2   Rocky Mountain / Alaska

#3   Mid Atlantic

#4   NYC / New England

#5   Desert Southwest

#6   South Atlantic

#7   Upper Mid-west

#8   Upstate New York

#9   Border States: Virginia, Tennessee & Kentucky

#10   Deep South

#11   Texas

#12   Peripheral South

#13   Rust Belt

what was particularly interesting is that I have lived in many of these regions, and the *only* region in which I have ever lived where the people generally vote as I do is California.  That is, I have noticed other places I've lived (e.g., Massachusetts and Texas) I vote as the locals do sometimes, but not usually, and in fact am rarely in agreement with the locals on a majority of issues.  But in CA I found that, statewide, I almost always voted on the Yes/No questions in a way that I was in the majority.  In fact, on a few ocassions, I voted with the majority on every single yes/no question on the ballot when I lived in CA.  (Not on elected offices though, only on the yes/no questions.)  Also, I agree that Rust Belt, based on what I can remember about the voters there, would be on the bottom of my list.  So, given that the test puts Pacific on top and Rust belt on bottom, I'd give the test a score of accurate overall, in terms of selecting a "political region" that matches my own politics.
