Millennial voters put Trudeau in power - now they want him out

.

..

Justin Trudeau may have lost his cool

0:03

Factor Shelley Lee with a key

0:05

demographic that's turning its back on

0:07

the

0:09

PM when Millennials first came of age

0:12

and were were able to vote in in say the

0:14

2015 election Justin Trudeau uh really

0:17

attracted them and his style of

0:19

leadership I think was the biggest uh

0:22

motivator as opposed to really the

0:24

issues that the parties or or that

0:26

election was necessarily about they put

0:28

Justin Trudeau in power the last three

0:30

Federal elections but now Millennial

0:32

voters are looking elsewhere recent

0:35

polling among Millennials finds many are

0:37

now looking at Pierre paev as a prime

0:40

minister in Waiting this next election

0:43

is about those three issues cost of

0:45

living housing and and the broader

0:48

economic situation um then I think the

0:51

Liberals are going to have a hard time

0:53

winning over Millennials which they've

0:54

done quite well over the last three

0:56

elections David ketto from Abacus

0:58

suggests economic considerations are

1:00

driving voter preferences now turning

1:02

Millennials from image-based voters into

1:05

what he calls issues-based voters on the

1:07

street Millennials expressed that while

1:09

they had other focuses Financial

1:11

considerations came up first uh I would

1:14

say quality of life is a big one for

1:16

Millennials uh housing obviously you

1:19

know we're seeing a lot of rising food

1:20

costs like you know um even like this

1:23

whole uh work from home debate uh

1:25

reducing commute time reducing the

1:27

carbon footprint all those kind of

1:28

things lowering the costs of food and

1:31

housing um rent has been too expensive

1:34

and I can't afford to buy the quality

1:36

groceries I want um apart from that

1:39

things don't other things don't take a

1:41

big priority right now in addition

1:43

Abacus polling shows despite falling

1:45

liberal support the NDP have not picked

1:48

up any of the slack among Millennial

1:50

voters falling from 24% in 2015 to 22%

1:55

today ketto suggests it may be time for

1:58

the party to ask itself some hard

2:00

questions the NDP has seen no gains

2:02

which I think perhaps is a should be a

2:05

wakeup call to to to the leadership in

2:07

the caucus and the new Democrats to ask

2:09

them why why is it that you know a

2:12

cohort that should be um you know prime

2:16

a prime target for their support hasn't

2:19

really moved at all in Ottawa sha Lee
