[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] A public opinion poll revealed that negative responses saying "will not do well" regarding President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's expected performance in office were higher than positive responses saying "will do well."

On the 28th, Realmeter, commissioned by Media Herald, surveyed 2,512 voters aged 18 and older nationwide from the 21st to the 25th about "the outlook on President-elect Yoon's performance after inauguration." The results showed that 46.0% responded "will do well," while 49.6% responded "will not do well." The difference between positive and negative responses was 3.6 percentage points, within the margin of error (±2.0 percentage points at a 95% confidence level).

Positive responses toward President-elect Yoon have been declining for two consecutive weeks.

In the second week of March, positive responses were 52.7%, but in the third week of March, they dropped by 3.5 percentage points to 49.2%. In this survey, they fell by an additional 3.2 percentage points.

On the other hand, negative responses increased by a total of 8.4 percentage points during the same period, from 41.2% → 45.6% → 49.6%.

By region, positive evaluations declined in most areas except Incheon·Gyeonggi (up 1.5 percentage points to 48.0%). The largest drop was in the Chungcheong region (down 9.4 percentage points), followed by Gwangju·Jeolla (down 5.9 percentage points), Busan·Ulsan·Gyeongnam (down 4.3 percentage points), Seoul (down 4.0 percentage points), and Daegu·Gyeongbuk (down 3.1 percentage points).

President Moon Jae-in's approval rating for his performance showed an opposite trend, rising for two consecutive weeks.

Positive evaluations that "President Moon is performing well" rose by 4.0 percentage points from 42.7% in the previous survey (third week of March) to 46.7%. Compared to 38.1% in the second week of March, this is an increase of 8.6 percentage points.
