CINCINNATI - According to a new Gallup poll, the Tri-State isn't one of the best places to live in the United States.
The poll asked more than 500,000 adults 13 questions on economic confidence, obesity, visits to the dentist, smoking habits, ease of finding clean and safe water, employment and if residents' supervisors treated workers like a partner rather than a boss.
Kentucky was rated as the third worst state in the country to live in, and Ohio was ninth worst. Indiana fared better, falling in the middle of the rated states.
West Virginia was the least livable state, with Mississippi rated the second least livable.
The top three most livable states were Utah, Minnesota and Colorado.
