President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating reached 37.9 percent for the second week in a row, according to a poll conducted by Realmeter. The survey, which polled 1,508 adults across the nation from Monday to Wednesday, revealed a 3.1 percentage point increase in positive assessments of Lee's job performance compared to the previous week.
Conversely, negative assessments dropped by 3.3 points to 60.1 percent. This marked a turnaround after Lee's approval rating had declined for ten consecutive weeks. The improvement can be attributed to Lee's clarification of key political issues during a press conference on September 18, as well as his diplomatic efforts at the U.N.
General Assembly and the Korea-U.S. summit. Additionally, the withdrawal of Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won and the resignation offer of presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik were seen as evidence of Lee's commitment to personnel reform. In another poll, support for the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) surpassed that of the ruling De party.
