South Korea's Leader Public Support Slides to 68 Percent
(MENAFN) South Korean President Lee Jae-myung saw his public support dip last week, with his approval rating falling by 3.3 percentage points to 68.0%, according to a new survey released Monday by local pollster Flower Research.
At the same time, disapproval of Lee’s handling of state affairs increased to 30.9%, up 3.2 percentage points from the previous week, the poll—conducted via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI)—showed.
The ruling liberal Democratic Party also experienced a decline in public backing, dropping 2.8 percentage points to a support level of 54.0%. The conservative People Power Party, South Korea’s main opposition bloc, recorded a slight dip of 0.8 percentage point, landing at 24.5%.
Meanwhile, smaller political groups held relatively steady. The minor left-leaning Rebuilding Korea Party polled at 4.2%, while the right-wing New Reform Party came in at 3.7%.
In a separate automated response system (ARS) poll also conducted by Flower Research, Lee’s approval rating saw a sharper decline—plunging 6.9 percentage points to 58.6% week-over-week.
Both surveys polled 1,007 registered voters between Friday and Saturday and carry a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
