The percentage of state residents who want to move out in the InformCT survey (47 percent) lines up with past polls that asked the same question. In a 2016 Gallup poll, 46 percent of Connecticut residents said they would like to leave the state if they had the opportunity to. The state was tied with New Jersey for the top spot in that category. Gallup said residents of high-tax states were more likely to report they wished to leave.
