From those maps, Warren, it looks like pretty near every region of the country is an even split between “Elvis Presley” and “Elvis Prezley.” Who knew? There must be political implications in there somewhere. I bet Dick Morris will be all over this if we tell him.
I note, by the way, that there is no pronunciation map for “Warren.” Florence “the Duchess” Harding, wife of our 29th President and a very formidable lady (“I’ll soon have the snaffle and bit on him,” she remarked to a friend during her courtship of Harding), was mocked behind her back for the way she would get her husband’s attention by barking “WURR-un!”
