No. It will only always be CLOSE to the zenith if you happen to be at the north pole. At other latitudes, for example if you live at 30° north latitude, it will be about 30° above the horizon (to the north), if you live at 50° north latitude, it will be about 50° above the horizon, etc.

∙ 11y agoThe 'zenith' is the point in the sky directly over your head. Every time you move to a
different place, you have a different zenith. Also, technically, two people can't both
have the same zenith, because two people can't stand in exactly the same place.
The only places on Earth where Polaris can possibly be at your zenith are the points
on a little circle 47 miles all around the north Pole. If you pick a spot on that little
circle and go stand there, then Polaris is located at your zenith once a day. If you're
not standing 47 miles from the north Pole, then Polaris can never be at your zenith.
(That number of "47 miles" is changing. But it's changing so slowly that it'll stay close
to that number for the rest of the time that anybody on Earth today is still alive.)

Within 1/2 degree of 70N. Polaris is not EXACTLY above the North Pole; it is about 0.6 degrees from it.

That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
Is zenith and north star the same?
No. The North Star, also called Polaris, is a star that is almost directly above the north pole. The zenith is the highest point an object reaches in the sky.
What would be the altitude of Polaris the North star for an observer located at 64oN latitude?
The altitude of polaris for an observer is always the same as your latitude so it would be 64oN
