President Yoon Suk Yeol’s approval rating has sunk back down to its lowest point since he took office, tying the record from six weeks ago.
In a Gallup Korea survey of one-thousand-one adults nationwide, conducted from Tuesday to Thursday, 20 percent of respondents approved of Yoon’s handling of state affairs, down two percentage points from last week’s survey.
The figure has never been lower since the launch of the Yoon administration in May 2022.
A majority, 70 percent of respondents, disapproved of his job performance, up one percentage point from last week.
The People Power Party and the main opposition Democratic Party came in at a tie with an approval rating of 30 percent.
The survey had a confidence level of 95 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus three-point-one percentage points.
