Popular Prime Minister Stoltenberg

A majority of Norwegians are still satisfied with the performance of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. 57 per cent say he is doing a good job, according to a survey made by Synovate for Dagbladet.

33 per cent say he is doing an average job, while only eight per cent say he is doing a poor job as prime minster.

In June, only 35 per cent said Stoltenberg was doing a good job as prime minister.

Right after the terrorist massacre at youth camp Utøya, 70 per cent said they were impressed by the Prime Minister.
