Record share of women want to leave U.S. for good — more than double that of men

40% of young women say they'd like to leave the U.S. permanently, more than twice the share of American men, a new Gallup survey finds.

Why it matters: It's a sign of a widening divide between the genders in the U.S., driven by growing political dissatisfaction among American women.

The big picture: Women's desire to leave the country started surging right before President Trump's first term in office, and increased again in the years after the Supreme Court overturned abortion rights in the Dobbs decision. • Partisanship plays a big role. Nearly 60% of young women identify as Democrats, or lean that way, compared with only 39% of younger men. • Women "increasingly lack faith in national institutions and picture their futures beyond America's borders," the report says.
