Some that came to mind quickly:

Northeast: Anti-Gun, Pro-Choice
Midwest: Anti-Trade
South: Anti-Choice
West: Pro-Immigration

Agree? Disagree? Any others you’d add?

I would say the West is the most Anti-Government of the four. It's most polarized when it comes to immigration; it's evenly divided enough on immigration that I don't feel comfortable categorizing it as pro- or anti-.

Excellent analysis.

Northeast: Anti-Gun, Pro-Choice (Even some Republicans in NE are anti-gun, pro-choice: Giuliani, Christie, even Trump was in this bracket)
Midwest: Anti-Trade
South: Anti-Choice
West: Pro-Immigration

Agree? Disagree? Any others you’d add?

For West, I would add Libertarian.

The census region is way too big to assign one position on immigration to the whole thing. You could say the political culture is pretty uniformly libertarian though. I would also add that its political culture is generally less informed by religion.
