Lee's approval rating drops to lowest level since taking office: poll

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has hit its lowest point since he assumed office in June last year, according to a recent poll conducted by the National Barometer Survey. The survey, which polled 1,002 individuals aged 18 and older, revealed that 43% of respondents had a positive view of Lee's handling of state affairs, a 7 percentage point drop from the previous survey.

Disapproval of his performance, however, reached an all-time high at 48%, surpassing his approval rating for the first time in the biweekly survey.
