Millennials like Trudeau

A new poll conducted by Angus Reid followed millennial's connection with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. 

Many people forecast frustration with Trudeau a few months down the road, but that hasn't been the case.

The reason for all the support has a lot to do with millennials. 

The Prime Minister’s bread and butter demographic is the 18 to 34 cohort accounting for about 8.4 million Canadians.

Angus Reid found that they continue to hold him in higher regard than the rest of Canadians, and are keeping his approval comfortably above the majority line as we inch toward the two-year mark of Trudeau’s government.

On a number of key values and policy issues, the data shows that Trudeau is aligned closest with younger Canadians.

While the economic argument is an important one for the government to make, it may not be as impactful with the younger generation according to Angus Reid.

Four-in-ten millennials say they consider the oil industry a liability rather than an asset, and close to two-thirds (64%) say that, when considering energy policy, environmental protection should be the priority over economic growth.
