Shows how bad JT is; young people just can't respect him as a leadership figure.

I don't think it's all that surprising. I don't think neoliberal economic policies designed to favor the well off combined with social pandering was ever particularly exciting for younger people. The main reason the Liberals got those votes post-2015 was because people shifted from the NDP and Greens as the election got closer.
Now that doesn't mean it'll happen again. But based on the numbers, there's a pretty clear delineation between Conseratives/PPC and then everyone else. I suspect what Poilievre is trying to do right now is lock up the PPC crazies and then once there's a campaign he'll try to straddle the line between holding on to convoy vote while moderating to try to attract more from the center.
