The States People Really Want to Move to (Post-Recession)

[Young Conservative]

The biggest blue states (CA, IL, NJ, NY) are losing massively while the biggest red states (AZ, GA, NC, TX) are gaining massively.

And getting less Republican as more people move there. 

Actually people typically move to places with similar ideologies. That's a false idea that migration turns red states blue. That isn't happening.

Unfortunately, we really can't expect much from AZ/GA/TX this early on, and NC population growth is much less minority-oriented than the others in a relative sense.

Or Texas EVER considering Texan Hispanics are far more conservative than other Hispanics and Gregg Abott actually won hispanic men in 2014. Georgia is stabilizing at it's current level and North Carolina is unlikely to continue its trend. Arizona is a possibility but if it does, it won't matter because it'll be negated by political shifts in the Midwest.

Have TX and TN really gotten less Republican in the last years?

I must say I'm surprised that VA isn't one of those states. I mean, it's a pretty terrible state (especially NoVA) so I understand why people don't want to move there, but we've heard so much about migration turning VA into a blue state.

Probably the two things that help Democrats the most are Urbanization and increasing minority populations.    Both are happening rapidly in all the high growth states.    Probably in the future we're going to see the more Urban states vote one way and the Rural states vote the other.   

I don't really think Domestic Migration affects things all that much on it's own.   

NH is a rural state and still one of the most Democratic states in the nation. I get your point, though.

New hampshire isn't very democratic.. only 1 point more than average... Vermont is a better example
