A new poll suggests nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque as the cost of living crisis continues to squeeze household budgets, and young people are more likely to say their finances are in poor shape.

It also suggests the Conservatives, who are hammering home a message about affordability, are gaining popularity, with 38 percent of respondents saying they'd vote for the Tories if an election were held today.
