Where Is Jacinda Ardern as New Zealand Goes to the Polls?
Published
New Zealanders are heading to the polls, and many people are asking what role former prime minister Dame Jacinda Ardern will play in the election. Ardern led the country from 2017 to 2023, and she remains one of the best-known figures in New Zealand politics.
A recent poll shows how Kiwis feel about her today. According to the results, 45% of New Zealanders have a favourable view of Ardern, while 35% have a negative view. This gives her an approval rating of +10.
An approval rating is a simple way to measure public opinion. It is calculated by subtracting the percentage of people with a negative view from the percentage with a positive view. In Ardern's case, more people think well of her than think badly of her, although more than a third of respondents still have a negative opinion.
The poll shows that Ardern continues to attract strong feelings from voters. Her result is a useful reference point as New Zealanders consider their choices in the election.
