"According to a Gallup poll from January 2019, 16% of Americans, including 40% of women under the age of 30, would like to leave the United States."
In my experience of talking to said Americans, that many can't is largely a case of restrictive immigration policies in most places Americans would like to move to.
- kortilla 4y ago“ Though relatively average by global standards, the 16% of Americans overall who said in 2017 and again in 2018 that they would like to permanently move to another country -- if they could -- is higher than the average levels during either the George W. Bush (11%) or Barack Obama administration (10%).” So usually America has lower than average citizens wanting to emigrate. Trump made Trump haters want to leave, bringing it up to global averages. That’s a significant jump, but being globally average does not fit the narrative you’re trying to portray.
