A new poll confirms what residents of the Aloha State already knew — Americans love Hawaii.

The poll by Public Policy Polling asked American voters what their impressions of each state were, and Hawaii was the overwhelming favorite.

Hawaii received 54 percent positive impressions, and only 10 percent negative — 36 percent were not sure.

On the other end was California, which received a 27 percent favorable and 44 percent unfavorable. The next most favorable state after Hawaii was Colorado, which received 44 percent positive impressions and 9 percent negative and Tennessee, which received 48 percent positive and 14 percent negative, Public Policy Polling said in a statement.

The poll also found that Hawaii — traditionally a Democratic stronghold — was on the list of Democrats’ favorite states, along with Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, Colorado and New York.

The results were compiled from four automated telephone polls of more than 3,000 U.S. voters over four months between October 2011 and this month.
