<em><strong>From Gallup</strong></em>:<br />
These findings are from a 50-state Gallup poll, conducted June-December 2013, which includes at least 600 representative interviews with residents aged 18 and older in each state. Gallup measured residents&#8217; interest in moving out of state by asking, &#8220;Regardless of whether you <em>will</em> move, if you had the opportunity, would you <em>like</em> to move to another state, or would you rather remain in your current state?&#8221;<br />
Thirty-three percent of residents want to move to another state, according to the average of the 50 state responses. Seventeen states come close to that 50-state average. Another 16 are above the average range, including three showing an especially high desire to move. In fact, in these three &#8212; Illinois, Connecticut, and Maryland &#8212; roughly as many residents want to leave as want to stay. &#8230;.<a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/168770/half-illinois-connecticut-move-elsewhere.aspx" target="_blank"><em><strong>MORE</strong></em></a></p>
