The opposition Conservatives, who a few months ago had a 20-point lead in polls, are expected to lose Monday's election to Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals thanks largely to Carney's tough words for U.S. president Donald Trump.

But Poilievre's focus on cost of living is resonating with one set of voters: the young, and young men especially.

A poll by Nanos on April 24 found 49.3 per cent of voters aged 18-34 support the Conservatives, compared to 30 per cent support for the Liberals. When all age groups were considered, the Liberals led 42.9 per cent to 39.3 per cent. Filtered for men of all ages, 45.5 per cent prefer the Conservatives compared to 36.7 per cent for the Liberals, the poll found.

It surveyed 1,307 Canadians from April 21 to 23, and is considered accurate plus or minus 2.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

To Canadians under 35, Poilievre represents change after nearly 10 years of Liberal rule under Justin Trudeau - what Poilievre often refers to as the lost Liberal decade. How to afford a house and general living expenses, rather than relations with the United States, are their top concerns.
