Not particularly. Plenty of Democratic governors/legislatures/cities in both sets.
The top 15 have almost no population when compared to the bottom 10. More rural states and those states without enormous cities are less impacted by the virus.
Nothing about the chart should surprise anyone.

That's funny...then shouldn't Texas be at the bottom also instead of #22?

Well, no. Texas has big cities but also an equally enormous rural and suburban population. I would expect those factors to balance out vis-a-vis overall covid impact, and for Texas to be.....just about in the middle.
States with populations disproportionately located in one or two massive cities are the ones I would expect to be most impacted. And, there they are at the bottom of your chart. The inverse would be true for the states at the top.

Yet, even with a 4.3% unemployment rate Kentucky is giving max food stamp benefits to anyone receiving food stamps and Medicaid to basically anyone who asks for it, including not having a citizenship check. Andy Beshear is a piece of shite marxist.

Delaware, Hawaii, and Nevada are ranked like 45th, 40th, and 32nd in population. All bottom dwellers in UE.

So what you're saying is it sucks to live in big cities surrounded by other Democrats.
Welcome to the GOP.
Welcome to the GOP.

And, all states whose populations are disproportionately located in one metro area (Wilmington, Honolulu, and Vegas), meaning that COVID's impact to those states UE numbers will be outsized.
It really is not hard to see that.
As I side in my previous post:

Which perfectly describes the states you listed.

Then why would you look at that chart and think anything other than "because of their leadership"?
It's obvious that dem leadership are trying their hardest to slow the economic recovery until after the election, and this chart just reinforces that.

Because that is not always the answer? Hell, Kentucky is number one on the list with a Democratic governor. There are GOP-led states near the bottom. That is just not the dominant factor here, not for the UE numbers at least.
UE is worse in urban areas at the moment than elsewhere and decidedly so. Therefore, states with a higher percentage of their population being urban will have higher UE numbers.

80% of American population is urban..

That is not relevant to any post I have made in this thread.
My point is that a state's UE at this point is very likely to be proportional to the percentage of its population that lives in large cities (or is clustered into one single population center). The larger that percentage is, the larger that state's UE numbers are likely to be at this time. The individual states discussed so far in this thread have borne that out to a T.

If you count for the govs, state house & senate the bottom 10 are 83% dem and the top 10 are 76% Pub.
9 of the top 10 are "red" states
10 of the bottom 10 are "blue" states
That's a pretty strong correlation. Would like to see by % of urbanization also.
