That's according to a new poll presented Wednesday by Power California that points to what could sway this generation of voters in the 2026 midterms. Broader results from the poll echoed the pressures described by Primero, Avila and Caguiat. "Young voters aren't losing hope, they're losing patience," Bell said. Bell closed the briefing by asking Primero, Avila and Caguiat what they want elected officials to understand about their generation, a question Avila's answer spoke to directly. "We're real people, despite what we go through, we're willing to do the work," Avila said.
