It was pointed out the best run states tend to be red (voted for Romney in 2012) and the worst run tend to be blue (voted for Obama in 2012).
The average rank of the red states is 18.4; of blue states, 32.0.
The average Fiscal Condition Index for the red states is 0.72, and for the blue ones, -0.67.
Alaska is an outlier, possibly because of its oil revenue. If its FCI is replaced with a value of 0.4, the average FCI for the red states decreases to 0.4.
