Weekend Poll: Hucks Nation is more of a mix of outsiders than the rest of Idaho. Whereas 47% of Idahoans were born in Idaho statewide, only 75 of 253 respondents to the Hucks Nation poll -- 29.64% -- said they were born in the Gem State. Whereas 12 percent of Idahoans were born in California, 41 of 253 (16.21%) of Hucks Nation said they were born in the Golden State. The second biggest block of Hucks Nation comes from outside California and the Pacific Northwest -- 71 of 253 respondents (28.06%) said they were born in other states. Other demographics include: 35 of 253 respondents (13.83%) said they were born in Washington; 24 (9.49%) from Oregon, Montana, or Utah; and 7 (2.77%) said they were born in other countries.
