It's crazy how much her polls have changed.  She seemed on-top of the world just a couple years ago, now she's resigning to get ahead of a face plant next election.  
Life comes at you fast
Wasn't she overall favorable at least compared to most world leaders? >

She's getting destroyed in the polls in NZ. Stepping down before the election to protect her image >


She's getting destroyed in the polls

Why?
I do not follow NZ politics. >

She does a great job in the eyes of the public in dealing with major events (mosque attacks, covid). But in terms of day-to-day running of the country she’s done bad. With Covid over, she now has to deal with a cost of living crisis, housing crisis, etc. Her government has an unprecedented majority, but hasn’t passed any meaningful laws to combat these. 
Instead she’s decided to try and pass hate speech laws, give governance of our water infrastructure to unelected Māori tribes, etc.
She was elected because she preached about how she wanted to end poverty, save the environment, etc. but all those things have gotten worse under her. She lies and deflects constantly, and has no plan going forward.
International people love her because they don’t see the day-to-day politics here, just the major events where her leadership is always praised >

poor people being poor is a social issue. don't listen to this bot >

It is a socioeconomic issue that can be remedied via economic means. 
I feel comfortable considering it a more economic than social issue because of that, pedantry aside.
Username fits. Beep bop beep. >

It is absolutely a social issue. Money does not trickle down. Giving more welfare money and calling it an economic fix is only going to ruin the economy lol. >

It is more an economic issue. 
The poor are poor because they literally don't have enough money.  The workers get fucked as a result of not getting enough money. These can be fixed by economic means.  
Not every economic intervention in favor of the poor and the worker is just about throwing a bag of money at them courtesy of the government. 
And from what I can see of the PM's history in power, she has coasted for too long and wound up in a ditch. 
Goodbye, so long, get someone that actually cares about delivering for the poor and the worker into power. >

I don't understand how you could call it an economic issue then say you can throw money at them. If you raise the minimum wage, is that social or economic? If you put government spending towards preventing crime, increasing education etc, all known ways to prevent poverty, is that a social fix or an economic fix? 
Crime rates rise because the situations that cause crime increased under national, poverty doesn't come over night. You can't fix poverty overnight either. You can also work towards social issues while stimulating the economy. Don't pretend as if it is one or the other, don't pretend you can fix poverty by letting the rich trickle all over them. Right wing politics is about keeping the rich rich and the poor poor, where else would they get their desperate workers.
I think we should agree to disagree, but both agree that it is socioeconomic. Obviously you can't have massive unemployment and no poverty, but also you can't have people totally fending for themselves and no poverty. There are multiple ways poverty arises and all need to be addressed to fix it.
