President Lee's approval rating rebounds after 2-week decline: poll

The Korea Times reports that President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has rebounded to 37.3 percent after two weeks of decline, according to a survey conducted by Realmeter. The poll, which surveyed 2,520 adults nationwide from last Monday to Friday, found that positive assessments of Lee's job performance increased by 2.1 percentage points, while negative assessments dropped by 1 percentage point.

Realmeter cited policies aimed at improving people's livelihoods, such as housing and job initiatives, as well as the government's measures to tackle violent crimes, as reasons for the rebound. However, a separate survey by the same pollster found that support for the ruling Democratic Party of Korea rose slightly, while support for the main opposition People Power Party fell.
