A new national survey has found one-quarter of Americans would like to pull a Rosie O’Donnell and move out of their country because of the resident in the White House.
The survey by StorageUnits.com was conducted online last month by Pollfish with responses from 2,349 US residents. The survey found 26% of respondents wanted to move abroad due to dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s policies. Women (27%) and younger generations, particularly Gen Z (32%) and Millennials (28%), were more likely than older Americans to exit the country.
The most common concern among those considering emigration was the fear that democracy is at risk, which was cited by 82% of respondents. Economic factors were also cited, most prominently with 65% saying they were worried about rising living costs and 63% feared limited access to healthcare. Other issues cited included increased social inequality (62%), concern about racial inequality (61%), and frayed international relations (58%).
Among those considering relocation, Canada and the UK are the most sought-after destinations. However, talking about wanting to leave is not the same thing as leaving, and only a small percentage of those polled said they have concrete plans to relocate. Among those who wanted to leave but could not go, the reasons cited included financial limitations (61%), emotional ties to their current location (32%), worry about job prospects abroad (31%).

How can I help them move? Does this include illegals?
Please leave now!
Was this a poll of college kids? Hope they enjoy the 50%+ income tax and Jihadists in the UK. The only reason UK and Canada were listed first is these kids are too lazy to learn another language.
Many other polls show massive approval of the President’s actions, even if the people don’t love his personality. (I am not threatened by a strong personality, so no problem there). $36 trillion in debt means we can’t keep spending like fools. DOGE needs to be accomplished in all states and counties. Government jobs are parasitical and steal from the private sector.
Get real people and support a President who supports freedom and opportunity. Not endless wars and debt. Globalists are not your friends!
If these people are so worried and upset on the “will of the people” electing Trump then their selling and/or vacating properties of all sorts would help to elevate the housing shortage. Their leaving would have some profound benefits. “Don’t let the door hit you on your way out” would be a good metaphor!
The convicted felon is going to get us into a war with Iran.
You have to ask yourself has there been any other President in history that had such a high rate of people wanting to leave? He is not a President he is a Master Divider who wants to be a dictator. As I have said before to all of you people praising Trump you are fine with it until it affects you and it will just give it time! I can’t believe the lack of compassion for our fellow citizens who are suffering under his regime but hey middle class white males your time will come and then we’ll see if you will get some humility. You’ll be the first ones here whining “Oh I didn’t think he was going to do that to us”.
Where did you get your data from? Who did you poll? 1 out 4? Not a chance! Whoever wrote this article has an agenda and truth is not part of it. THE FACT THAT YOU WOULD POST THIS RIDICULOUS HATE-INCITING ARTICLE ON WEEKLY REAL ESTATE NEWS GIVES wre NEWS ZERO CREDIBILITY. As a result, anything coming from your organization should be questioned.
Uh, we’re just reporting this story – don’t blame the messenger. If you have problems with the survey cited in the story, please contact Pollfish and StorageUnits.com, who put forth this data. Thanks.
Yes, but you can filter through your post to see if it matches your business practice. In this case, inciting division between your fellow Americans is not a wise decision. I will certainly contact Pollfish- which is not a reliable source. and SHAME ON storageunits.com for helping to spread this hate-filled article.
We need to get rid of the brain washing that has been happening in this country for decades by the corporations and their wealthy owners. Stop watching commercials, especially pharmaceutical ones, they are not allowed in many European countries, that’s why the medications are cheaper over there.
If we did not have this brain washing, we would now have health insurance for all, the wealthy could still get private insurance like in Europe.
And do you really think developers want to build affordable housing?
Most foreign students speak at least 2 or 3 other languages while most Americans can only speak one. I’m sure you feel comfortable living in your own bubble. However you never know where your help might come from in the future.
