% of people who will actually leave the US?
I'd wager near 0.

This is the flip side of the whole "I'd like to leave the US" movement that is hardly ever talked about. A lot of people who express these desires to leave and gain citizenship elsewhere simply do not have the credentials to do so.
Did you find a job before you left?
Did you already speak Spanish?
I actually have spanish citizenship as well as my US one, and have considered moving there (temporarily or permanently) to be closer to family a couple of times.
I recently came back to get a career in IT going, but will be moving again soon.
It's definitely non-zero, but there's also no evidence actual percentage of expats has increased even if reported desire to become one has increased.
> It's important to note that people's desire to migrate is typically much higher than their intention to do so -- as such, it is unlikely that Americans will be flocking to the Canadian border. In fact, since Trump's election, Canadian statistics show only a modest uptick in the number of Americans who have moved to Canada.
Not negligible, not imperceptible ... modest.
