Clayton: the numbers are not out of context although I agree that opinion polls taken are debatable. Yet, what is important here is the trend and the acual emigration numbers that corroborate what has been recorded anecdotally.
As for Virignia’s question, here is a post I did a little while back which contains the most recent numbers as released by the Dutch Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS), which is probably as reliable as it gets:

It doesn’t give the full picture, but I think it underlines a trend. Will update these with new numbers on my blog if and when they are released by the CBS.
