According to the results of a recent poll in South Korea, President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating fell to 43.3%, a new low since taking office in June last year. According to an analysis by the polling agency, the South Korean government's recent implementation of a number of controversial policies is the main reason for the decline in Lee Jae-myung's approval rating. Commissioned by “Energy Economy News”, South Korea's national polling agency “Real Meter” conducted a survey of 2,514 adults across the country on Lee Jae-myung's administration from the 3rd to the 7th. According to the poll results released on the 10th, Lee Jae-myung's approval rating was 43.3%, down 2.6 percentage points from a week ago, showing a downward trend for 4 consecutive weeks; the disapproval rating was 53%, up 2.5 percentage points from the data a week ago. According to the “Real Meter” analysis, the decline in Lee Jae-myung's approval rating was affected by multiple factors, including measures such as the government's implementation of new real estate regulations, the National Assembly's adoption of amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law abolishing prosecutors' investigation powers, and speeding up the integration of military academies. Furthermore, public dissatisfaction with the government's response to hot weather and increased economic uncertainty is also the reason for the decline in its approval rating. From a regional perspective, Lee Jae-myung's approval rating in Seoul declined the most, by 5.9 percentage points; in terms of age groups, people aged 70 and over dropped the most approval rating, down 5.6 percentage points. Another poll released by “Real Meter” on the 10th showed that the ruling party, the Common Democratic Party, had an approval rating of 44.6%, while the largest opposition party, the National Power Party, had an approval rating of 37.6%.
