I expected to have more DIXIE than I did. Oh well, I guess the low % is because of my Missouri upbringing.
And, in case anyone's confused--it's Missour-EE NOT Missour-UH ;D

where I was raised, I am surprised it isn't 90%. perhaps the mass media culture has had an effect on all of our speech patterns. too bad.
I always have said "missour - ee".
what part of the country says "missour - uh"?
