Michigan Is One Of The Least Patriotic States in America

Do you consider yourself to be patriotic?  If you said yes, and you live in Michigan, you might be disappointed to find out that we are considered one of the least patriotic states in the nation.

A recent survey done by WalletHub.com has ranked Michigan 42nd in terms of patriotism. The study comes amidst a global pandemic and protests all across the country and has some pretty interesting results.

Even though Michigan ranks pretty low on the list, we still beat out states like Texas, Florida, and New York, who you'd think would be relatively high on the list, or at least not near the bottom.

You can check out the least and most patriotic states below.
