Note. Minnesota N = 378, Ohio N = 926. OLS = ordinary least squares.

^aChow test for difference in coefficients between states <.05.

^bBetas for effect of each 10 percentage points. For respondent characteristics, applies to all betas.

^cChow test for difference in coefficients between states <.1.

^dAll respondent characteristics are the proportion of the respondents who have each characteristic.

For individual states’ coefficients:

^*p < .1.

^**p < .05.

^***p < .01.
