A recent survey reveals a striking trend among Kamala Harris supporters, with more than half considering relocation and nearly 50% contemplating leaving the United States entirely.
The research, conducted by StorageUnits.com, indicates that 54% of disheartened Democrats are evaluating their futures amid the possibility of another Trump term.
“Of Harris voters, 5% say they will definitely relocate and 5% say they probably will. Another 44% would like to move but probably (27%) or definitely (17%) won’t. Of those who would like to move but are unlikely to, personal finances, family, and community ties are what will keep them in place.
Of those pondering or planning a move, 90% are considering moving to another country and 80% to another state.
The top countries respondents are considering moving to are Canada (41%), the United Kingdom (19%), and Mexico (16%). Top states respondents are considering moving to are California (14%), New York (8%), and Colorado (8%).”
The study found that approximately half of potential relocators have already initiated concrete steps toward their goals:
“Nearly half of respondents who plan to move have taken steps toward relocating. These actions include starting to research properties online (27%), visiting or planning to visit desired moving locations to explore living options (17%), beginning to organize or downsize belongings (15%), and applying for jobs in a new location (14%).
Additionally, 8% have consulted with a real estate agent or property manager, 9% have researched getting a storage unit, and 8% are in discussions with their current employer about a possible transfer. Meanwhile, 51% are still exploring the idea but haven’t taken concrete steps.
When those who definitely or probably plan to move were asked when they anticipate moving, 8% say they plan to move within the next three months, and 10% within the next six months.
Additionally, 22% plan to move within the next year, and 14% sometime in the next one to two years. Nearly half (46%) indicated they are unsure of the timing.”
Several entertainment figures, including America Ferrera, Sharon Stone, Cher, Barbara Streisand, and Whoopi Goldberg, have expressed intentions to depart if Trump wins.
This echoes similar declarations from the 2016 election when celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Bruce Springsteen made comparable promises, though these ultimately went unfulfilled.
