This is such a researcher answer 😂

That is indeed a terribly-formed question.

In all of these polls there's also the issue of self selection bias. Is there a way one could make them meaningful at all considering this problem?

This chart being repeated uncritically is breaking my spirit Saloni Among many other issues with it, there simply are not enough jobs in Europe and Canada for 3/4 of US researchers. Not even close.

There's a really big difference between "Considering" for a split second vs. will actually apply for opportunities elsewhere

Not to mention the use of "considering" - pretty much every academic I know is dreaming about leaving the US but most likely will not move out as it is not feasible for most people. Does that count as considering?
