(MENAFN) South Korean President Lee Jae-myung experienced a marginal decline in his approval rating last week, slipping 0.3 percentage points to 71.3%, according to a new public opinion poll released Monday.
Conducted via computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) by local pollster Flower Research, the survey also found a 1.6 percentage point increase in negative sentiment toward the president’s leadership, bringing his disapproval rating to 27.7%.
Meanwhile, the liberal ruling Democratic Party saw its public support rise by 1.4 percentage points to 56.7%. The conservative opposition People Power Party also posted gains, increasing its approval rating by 2.6 percentage points to reach 25.3%.
Smaller political players remained relatively static. The left-leaning Rebuilding Korea Party held a support rate of 3.3%, while the right-leaning New Reform Party registered 2.8%.
