Research Co also did exit polling. While this poll didn't explicitly ask how people voted, the Liberals' generally outperformed the Conservatives among Gen Z. And 59% of Gen Z voters thought Poilievre should resign if he lost the election, which was the highest among any age demographic.

You'll note that the exit poll you linked doesn't actually provide vote percentages, so it doesn't provide a whole lot of value. Someone could think cost of living was their biggest issue and still not vote Conservative.
I will check out the Abacaus data more. FWIW Research is not very reputable.
