States opposed to Obama more dependent on federal government

States that voted against President Obama twice are more dependent on the federal government, according to an analysis of new data released by the Pew Charitable Trusts on Monday.

All told, the average state that voted against Obama twice relied on federal funding for an average of 33.8 percent of its budget, the report found.

Among the 27 states that voted for Obama twice, federal grants made up 29.9 percent of the average state budget.

The report shows that seven years after the beginning of the economic recovery, states across the country are more reliant on federal dollars to cover their costs than before the recession.
