Approval Rating 41% During President-Elect Period -> First Approval Rating 52% After Inauguration

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] President Yoon Seok-yeol's first approval rating for his national administration has surpassed the majority.

On the 13th, the polling agency Gallup reported that in a telephone survey conducted from the 10th to the 12th with 1,000 adults aged 18 and over nationwide, 52% positively evaluated President Yoon's job performance. Negative evaluations accounted for 37%. Those who responded neither were 2%, and 10% were unsure or refused to answer.

This poll is Gallup's first regular survey since President Yoon officially began his duties following the inauguration on the 10th.

In the last Gallup poll conducted during his president-elect period (surveyed on the 3rd-4th), 41% said he was doing well, while 48% said he was doing poorly.

Those who responded that he was performing well cited reasons such as fulfilling campaign promises (8%), relocating the presidential office (7%), decisiveness, drive, and perseverance (7%), fairness, justice, and principles (6%). Those who responded negatively cited reasons such as relocating the presidential office (30%), personnel appointments (17%), insufficient fulfillment of campaign promises (10%), and being autocratic or unilateral (7%).

When asked whether President Yoon would perform well over the next five years, 60% expected that he would. Only 28% expected poor performance. However, this rate was lower compared to previous presidents. Former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye had expectations of 79% for good job performance over five years. Former President Moon Jae-in recorded 87%.
