    I’m from Wyoming and I’m calling bullshit on that number. Unless they talked to people living in the town of Midwest.

      Not only is Wyoming solidly in the west, Wyoming arguably defines the west. Cowboys, sagebrush, the Rockies… If any part of Wyoming is “the midwest,” so is the moon.

        Isn’t the tourism “mascot” for WY a cowboy? Kinda screams Western state to me.

          The cowboy on the bucking bronco is also on their license plate.

      According to google the town of Midwest, WY has 283 people, which is damn near half of the state’s population. So add in a few more confused cowboys and that checks out.

      Totally agree. I’m in Colorado, nobody would ever call this the midwest. Maybe all the midwestern transplants here were confused about the question?
