Dear John, We’re excited to share with you that we have partnered with American University’s Sine Institute of Policy & Politics for their third annual poll focused on understanding the perspectives of young Americans on political leadership and engagement.
Reimagining Political Leadership: The Outlook of Young Americans examines the perspectives of young Americans, between the ages of 18-34, regardless of voter registration status. The poll gauges what issues young people care about most and their perceptions of how America’s top political leaders are addressing what matters to them.

The survey found, through a ranking system, that what young Americans prioritize most in political leadership is also what they feel is missing most from our current leadership: - Young Americans ranked “a willingness to work with members of the other party and compromise to get results” as #1 in what is missing most from our current political leadership, with ⅓ of respondents placing it as a top priority.
-
Young Americans ranked “motivated to serve others, not their own self interest” as #2 in what is missing most from our current political leadership, while nearly ½ of respondents prioritize it.
-
Young Americans ranked “actively listening and truly considering the perspective of others when making decisions” as #3 in what’s missing most from our current political leadership, with 38% prioritizing it.
