When it comes to Canadians' pocketbooks, pollster Nik Nanos tells CTV News' Michael Stittle that he hasn't seen this much pessimism in a very long time.

Then, Michael and Nik discuss how Canadians are divided over the capital gains tax and its effect on investments.

Also, Nik explains how delaying the tax until end of June could result in a short-term windfall for the federal Liberals.

Nik also breaks down new data --- what do the Liberals have to do to reverse their negative trend line when it comes to popular support, and what do the Conservatives have to do to keep theirs positive?
