One in three Americans wish they could pull up their roots and move to another state, according to a new Gallup poll.
More people are looking for greener pastures in states with dense population - specifically Illinois (home of Chicago) and the Northeast corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C. Residents said they're hoping to find better jobs, be closer to family, have a higher quality of life and pay lower taxes elsewhere.
Illinois had the highest portion of respondents saying they wanted to leave - 50percent, followed by Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, Rhode Island and New Jersey.

I thought this was only happening in MD. Guess I was wrong.
no doubt Maryland is in the top tier on this...
Moved from Maryland to Delaware 20 years ago and never looked back. I wish my home state would realize how far downward it has spiraled but that doesn't seem likely.
