President Lee Jae-myung and the 'triple whammy' : What are the ways to get out of this crisis?
The president, Yoon Suk-yeol, faces the challenge of escaping from a 'triple disaster' that threatens his presidency. 'Golden cross' and 'dead cross' are terms used in various fields such as stocks, elections, and politics. In politics, a 'golden cross' occurs when a president's public approval rating rises above his/her negative ratings, while a 'dead cross' happens when the opposite occurs.
In a five-year presidential term, there is a similar rule for presidential job performance evaluations. At the beginning of a president's term, positive ratings are high due to the expectation of "do well in the future." However, as the term progresses, positive ratings decrease while negative ratings rise. Every president is inevitably faced with a 'dead cross' during their term, as the negative ratings eventually surpass the positive ones.
This is why all presidents experience a moment of fear during their term. This trend has been observed in various presidents.
