NOTE: It has been shown that Conservative/ Republican - controlled states invest far less in education than progressive states. That's another side to the issue, and it has nothing to do with teachers or students. It's politics and investment in education.
Here's the news and links to the studies:
BIGGEST SUPPORTING
STATES - According to Newsweek:
Donald Trump Approval Rating Above 50 Percent in Just 17
States in '18, Worth Only 102 Electoral College Votes
Newsweek Feb 26,
2019
States giving Trump the highest approval ratings were
West Virginia at 62 percent; Wyoming, 61 percent; North Dakota, 58
percent; Alaska, 56 percent; Mississippi, 56 percent; Alabama, 55 percent;
Tennessee, 54 percent; Kentucky, 53 percent; and Arkansas, 53 percent.
HIGHEST LEVELS OF
MENTAL ILLNESS -Most of these states are on the list of 12 States
Struggling With Mental Illness. This study shows the states with the highest
levels of mental illness and states that offer the least mental health
services. Many of the highest levels of
mental illness are in states listed in the Newsweek article where his approval
ratings were highest.
LEAST EDUCATED
STATES - If you look at this list of the 50 U.S. States and check the
bottom of the listing, where the least educated people live, you'll find yet
another correlation with those who are the strongest supporters of D.T.

What criteria did we use?
In order to rank the dumbest States in the USA of A, we had to determine what criteria define a dumb person. We started by getting data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey for every we state. We then looked at our criteria: % Of Residents over 25 without a degree
We ranked each state from 1 to 50 with 1 being the state with the lowest number of college grads. As it turns out, the dumbest states in America mostly voted for Trump.
