The data is clear: Residents of Democrat-run states are fleeing at alarming rates. Many are choosing Republican-run states as their destinations of choice. And while it’s not clear yet what this mass migration of “leftugees” means for the power of blue and red states, one thing is clear: Liberal policies are failing in real-time on a spectacular scale that this country has never before seen.
Studies Show Blue States Are Hemorrhaging Residents
According to a new survey that studies the migration patterns of Americans within the United States, liberal-run New Jersey led the nation with 70 percent of all people involved in moves fleeing the Garden State (compared to just 30 percent who migrated in).
Illinois, home of the crime-ridden liberal haven of Chicago, came in second with 67 percent of moves resulting in residents leaving the state and just 27 percent involving inbound moves.
New York, another liberal hotbed, came in third on the list. In total 63 percent of movers kissed the Empire State goodbye, while just 37 percent decided to move in.
Connecticut wasn’t much better. More than 60 percent of all moves were outbound, while just 39.9 percent were inbound.
Rounding out the top five is California, with 60 percent of moves involving people leaving the state and just 40 percent involving inbound moves.
Michigan, Massachusetts, and Louisiana come in sixth, seventh, and eighth, respectively, which gives Democrat-run states a clean sweep of the top eight outbound states. Ohio (ninth) and Nebraska (tenth) are the only Republican states in the top 10.

Don’t take your voting habits with you!
They took their voting habits to Colorado already. Result: new pot laws, and more gun control as an example. Democrats always foul up where they live.
A great many of those inbound in those states are immigrants.
Those people will screw up a wet dream. Guaranteed.
More room for the invaders. The blue states stay blue and the red go purple.
Maybe overturning Roe will help. The country really is divided.
Like locust, they move from place to place and destroy everything in their path.
More proof that cancer does indeed spread? /s
Don’t NY my FL.
As someone forced to move due to skyrocketing rents in Sarasota Florida, I’m saying if you love New York, you’ll love the new Sarasota. I’ve never heard so many complaining people in such a small area. They don’t like anything , but are glad to pay almost a doubling of local rent rates. Paradise is ruined for people who lived there their whole lives as the New Yorker newbies drive the working class out. Restaurants are closing because the workers can no longer afford to live there, and seniors on fixed incomes are finding it impossible to pay the new rents. If the landlords raised the rates this much in a hurricane, they would go to jail for price gouging. The local politicians talk about building subsidized housing so the menials such as hospital staff can continue to serve them. ( And these are the so called republicans as well as the democrats) ( six to ten years to get a project built, it will help no one)
Like locust
As for the Cali transplants moving to Texas, the largest plurality are settling in and near Austin. What does that tell us, other than they feel right at home among fellow leftists.
These people fall into five (5) categories:
1. People fleeing blue state policies who have had enough of that nonsense for the rest of their lives.
2. People fleeing blue state policies who have very short memories. Once they feel safe for a while, they will start to lean left again.
3. People moving to blue state for some non-political reason (e.g., warmer weather). These people will likely retain their existing voting habits.
4. Leftists who specifically moving to red states to turn them blue (yes, they do exist).
5. Immigrants
Of the above categories, only #1 truly benefits us.
But you know they will... that's what happened to Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico in more recent years and Oregon and Washington before them.
AZ is really being invaded. You can spot these fools a mile away. I was in a Home Depot recently and over heard a couple about to faint when they saw this alpha male walk by. He had a gun on his hip, cowboy boots...looked like a rancher, as we are North of Phoenix in a cool little town that has a lot of horse properties. They muttered something about this should be illegal as they fled. Idiots.
And spreading their mental disease no doubt.
They are fleeing liberal states because it’s easier than staying to clean up the mess in the state they came from. Kinda like what’s happening at the southern border.
I understand your post but wonder....... where is the evidence?
Why is the person leaving the carrier of the progressive disease?
Why is he not a moderate seeking refuge from progressivism?
” Democrats always foul up where they live.”
When I see a grown ass man flying down the sidewalk on a skateboard, I know I’m looking at a Californian. Longmont used to be a nice place, now it’s packed with coastal assholes.
