40% of Young US Women Are Booking Flights Out, Sorry Boys
According to a summer 2024 Gallup survey of 1,000 Americans, a staggering 40% of women aged 15 to 44 want to permanently bounce from the U.S., a figure that started climbing around Trumpâs debut and skyrocketed after the Supreme Court's Dobbs abortion rerun. This isnât a modest exit plan; itâs four times higher than 2014 and leaves young menâonly 19% of whom dream of escapeâin the dust. Nearly 60% of these hopeful ĂŠmigrĂŠs lean Democrat compared to just 39% of men, proving partisan angst is the real passport. Fun fact: U.S. womenâs wanderlust rivals Zambia and Malta, but only women stare longingly abroadâmen here prefer their own mess. Even married women are less tied down, narrowing their 'get me out of here' gap to four points from ten in 2022, signaling a nationwide breakup vibe with Americaâs political and institutional dating profile.

Women in the US are eyeing the escape hatch like itâs Black Friday at the airport gates. Meanwhile, men are still figuring out which pocket to check for their passport.
Apparently, wanton political heartbreak and Supreme Court drama are turning young American women into international dreamers. Guys? Theyâre just here negotiating bathroom privileges.
