San Francisco, CA/March 15th – An overwhelming number of California’s youth believe that their state is moving in the wrong direction and that politicians cannot be trusted to deliver on their promises, according to a new statewide poll of California students.

The California Youth Poll reached a politically engaged cross-section of California students, representing three statewide Youth Leadership Development organizations. EMC Research conducted the poll, commissioned by the Endowment for California Leadership, Junior State of America, California YMCA Youth and Government and the Chicano Latino Youth Leadership Project (CLYLP).
