Record 40% of Young Women Want to Leave US, Gallup Poll Finds

Gallup links young U.S. women's rising desire to leave to declining trust in institutions, with 40% expressing this wish compared to 19% of men, marking an unprecedented gender gap.

  • A new Gallup poll released Thursday found a record 40% of young American women ages 15 to 44 want to move abroad permanently, more than double the 19% of men, the largest gender gap Gallup recorded.
  • Gallup's decade-long tracking shows younger women's interest in leaving rose around former President Barack Obama's second term and continued under President Trump and President Biden, linked to trust dropping from 55% to 32% after the Dobbs decision.
  • Partisanship plays a big role as nearly 60% of young women identify as Democrats, while Nov. 4 elections showed young women backing Democratic candidates at about 81%–84%.
  • A growing share of young women now say they lack faith in institutions, women over 45 outpace men at fourteen percent versus eight percent, and March 8, 2025 demonstrations marked political unrest.
  • No country has previously recorded such a gender gap, and Gallup's summer survey of about 1,000 Americans shows wanting to move does not equal actually leaving.
