NZ PM’s approval rating rises after mosque attack

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who was praised at home and abroad for her handling of the Christchurch mosques shooting last month, received her highest approval rating since taking office in a widely watched poll yesterday. The 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton political survey showed 51 percent of respondents said Ardern was their preferred prime minister, climbing seven percentage points from the last poll in February. Its the first political survey since a lone gunman killed 50 Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch on March 15.
