Iowa Ranked Among The Least Popular States
First of all, if you re reading this, you already know that Iowa is a great place to live. We wouldn t be here if it wasn t. Iowans already know this! But clearly people living outside of our fair state don t yet know it s charms and amusements. The folks over at YouGov recently pitted all the states in the U.S. against each other, and as you might imagine, the Hawkeye state didn t fair too well.
To be fair, Iowa does well on these type of lists all the time. Cities in Iowa regularly make lists like the best small cities in the U.S. But those lists are compiled by companies, journalists, and others who have actually been to Iowa and know how great it really is. The YouGov survey did things a bit differently. It simply asked people to choose the better state in a head to head matchups. States were then ranked based on the win percentage, or how often a state won it s head to head matchup.

It didn t. Xavier University. He made the announcement via his Instagram page.
Hawkeye Nation points out that Nunge was valuable member of the Iowa basketball team in 2020 and 2021. He was the team s leading scorer and rebounder off the bench for Fran McCaffery s Hawkeyes, averaging 7 points and over 5 rebounds per game. He started 19 games in his Iowa career.
