Almost 70% Of North Dakotas Want To Remain North Dakotans -- Gallup Poll

From The Grand Forks Herald via The Williston Wire:

Beth Gilbertson moved to Shelly, MN, several years ago from Devils Lake where she grew up because that's where her husband farms, she said. But if she could, she'd just as soon farm in North Dakota, she said.  

"Sometimes when you're born and raised in a place, you just don't ever leave," she said.
Gilbertson is among the 69 percent of North Dakotans who prefer to stay put, some of the highest rates among the states, according to a recent Gallup poll. About 30 percent say they want to leave.  Many North Dakotans remember when people here couldn't wait to leave, Gilbertson said recently.
