American Election
I have no idea whether those numbers are real or just complete fantasy but this table might explain the result of the latest American Presidential Election.
"...someone has dusted off the same chart and (omitting the economic data) applied it to the 2004 presidential election, keeping the primary gag intact: the "blue" (i.e., Democratic states) are all clustered at the top of the IQ scale, while the "red" (i.e., Republican) states are clustered at the bottom. Same hoax, different year. If 2008 produces another close presidential election as 2000 and 2004 did, expect to see this same joke again four years from now."
Signed, Concerned American John Kerry for President, France
