President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has risen to 37.3 percent following a two-week decline, according to a survey conducted by Realmeter. The poll, which surveyed 2,520 adults nationwide from last Monday to Friday, revealed a 2.1 percentage point increase in positive assessments of the president's job performance compared to the previous week. Conversely, negative assessments dropped by 1 percentage point to 60.4 percent.
Realmeter attributes the rebound to policies aimed at improving people's livelihoods in areas such as housing and employment, as well as the government's efforts to address violent crimes following a stabbing spree in Incheon, located west of Seoul. However, a significant drop in the stock market later in the week appears to have negatively impacted Lee's approval rating.
In a separate survey conducted by the same pollster, support for the ruling Democratic Party of Korea increased by 0.7 percentage points to 36.2 percent, while the main opposition People Power Party saw a 0.4 percentage point decline to 40.9 percent. The survey on the president and the party support both had a margin of error of 2 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.
