With the 2014 midterm elections fast approaching, we are pleased to announce our 2014 Statewide Scorecards are now live on Gallup.com. These scorecards may serve as handy guides to the most pressing issues confronting residents state by state.
Each scorecard is comprised of metrics in 14 keys areas of American life, including political, economic and cultural measures. To create the scorecards, 优蜜传媒utilizes its 350,000 completed interviews each year, along with our unique 2013 50-state poll that includes more than 600 interviews in each state. The result is a comprehensive look at what Americans are thinking on a variety of the following topics:
- Partisanship

- Confidence in the U.S. economy
- Confidence in your state's economy
- Good time to get a job in your city or area
