GoKawiilGallup: Share of Would-Be Migrants Naming U.S. as Top Destination Falls to 15%
Gallup's latest global survey finds that among adults worldwide who say they want to move permanently to another country, just 15% name the United States as their preferred destination, the lowest share in nearly two decades of polling. The figure peaked near 24% between 2007 and 2009 and has stayed at or below 18% since 2017. Canada remains the second most desired destination at 9%, a share that has held steady even as U.S. appeal declined.
