More than half of Harris voters want to move after Trump win: Poll

Over 50% of voters for Vice President Kamala Harris say they want to move after Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, according to a survey commissioned by StorageUnits.com.

Storage units polled 1,837 Harris voters on Nov. 6 to gauge how many would like to move — and who plans to — and the underlying concerns of those who voted against Trump.

Of those surveyed, 44% would like to move but probably won’t, while 5% said they would definitely move and another 5% said they probably would. Those who would like to move, but probably won’t, cited personal finances, family and community ties as reasons they would stay put.

Of the 10% who plan to move or are seriously considering moving, 90% are considering moving to another country, with Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico being the top choices. California, New York and Colorado were the top three choices for those considering moving to another state.

According to the poll, the top three reasons Harris voters want to move are concerns that a federal abortion ban will be enacted, racial inequality will increase and progressive rights will be rolled back.

Access to abortion at the federal levelwhich was one of the main issues of the Democratic campaign, was an area of ​​concern for many Democratic voters, despite Trump saying he would not pass a federal abortion ban and reiterating that he was fine with leaving the decision in his hands states after Roe. v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022.

Other major areas of concern include: reduced access to healthcare, increasing social inequality, lack of gun regulation, and weakening public education.

“Some Harris voters experiencing fear, anxiety and worry following the election results may choose to move from a red state to a blue state with more LGBTQ+ friendly and/or less restrictive abortion laws. However, there are a number of factors that influence any potential move, such as the cost of living, job availability and housing prices,” Realtor Jo Ann Bauer told Storage Units.
