My guess is North Dakota would have been the most isolationist given its dominant Scandinavian/German demographic (highest Harding vote, Lemke vote in 1936 etc.), with Wisconsin next.

Most interventionist is harder. 

Of course the social base of isolationism differend between WWI and WWII. New York for example would have been more interventionist re WWII compared to WWI...

In contrast, upper New England was interventionist and logically so because of its strongly English (or French) population and strong democratic traditions.

Most of the French in New England were from Quebec.  Were French Canadians in New England pro-intervention?  In Quebec they were strongly opposed to intervention and conscription (the draft).

Well...fascinating.  I wonder why.  Quebec didn't have such an attachment to France.
