[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] A public opinion poll showed that the evaluation of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's job performance is higher than that of Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae.

Korea Gallup announced on the 3rd that a public opinion survey on the job performance of these two figures was conducted from the 30th of last month to the 2nd of this month targeting 1,000 people aged 18 and over. The positive and negative job approval ratings for Minister Chu were 40% and 45%, respectively, while those for Prosecutor General Yoon were 43% and 38%, respectively. The differences in positive and negative ratings were within 5 percentage points and similar, with Prosecutor General Yoon having a slightly higher positive rating than Minister Chu.

Minister Chu's job approval ratings were relatively high among Democratic Party supporters (69%), progressives (63%), the Gwangju and Jeolla regions (64%), and people in their 40s (50%), while Prosecutor General Yoon's job approval ratings were relatively high among United Future Party supporters (79%), conservatives (66%), the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions (58%), and those aged 60 and over (57%).

A Gallup official stated, "The job evaluations of Minister Chu and Prosecutor General Yoon are not individual opinions on specific issues and should not be overinterpreted as evaluations of the organizations they lead, such as the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution."

This survey contacted 8,976 adults aged 18 and over nationwide, with a final 1,000 respondents completing the survey, recording an 11% response rate. The sampling error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
