I think people are fed up with rising housing costs, food costs, and general cost of living. |
Not really; the same effect exists within age groups. In Abacus Data's final 2021 election poll, 38% of that age group supported the Conservatives (30%) or PPC (8%). In the latest poll that number is 39% (35% for Conservatives and 4% for PPC). So essentially their entire gain with that age group has come from cannibalizing PPC support.
The Liberals have certainly dropped, but their drop of 8 points is exactly the same as the NDP + Green gains (3% and 5% respectively) in that age group, so there isn't much evidence of voters shifting from the Liberals to the Conservatives.
