Most Albertans now say it's difficult to meet monthly expenses

In a recent poll commissioned by CBC News, 54 per cent of Albertans said it's been difficult to meet their monthly household expenses — marking the first time that a majority of people have felt that way over six years of similar polling.

Pollster Janet Brown has been asking Albertans a variety of questions about their personal experiences and political preferences, as part of regular polling commissioned by CBC News since 2018.

"What really struck me about this poll were the economic numbers," she said.

"I know everybody likes to look at the political stuff, but this is a huge change. I don't usually see data change this dramatically year over year. This is not a flash in the pan. There has been a shift — an important shift — in the way people are feeling about the economy."
