The Sun Belt is a region in the United States, includes the southern and southwestern states. There has been a significant demographic and economic shift to the Sun Belt in recent decades. Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas are the main Sun Belt states. Some people consider North Carolina to be a Sun Belt state because it has seen similar demographic and economic growth, even though it's climate is a tad more "wintry" than the rest of what is considered the Sun Belt.
Since 1964, every elected President of the United States has come from a Sun Belt State. They are:
Lyndon B. Johnson (1964) -- Texas
Richard M. Nixon (1968, 1972) -- California
Jimmy Carter (1976) -- Georgia
Ronald Reagan (1980, 1984) -- California
George H. W. Bush (1988) -- Texas
Bill Clinton (1992, 1996) -- Arkansas
George W. Bush (2004) -- Texas
