According to the '2nd Week of July Nationwide Indicator Survey (NBS) results' announced by Embrain Public, K-stat Research, Korea Research, and Hankook Research, conducted from the 11th to the 13th among 1,001 men and women aged 18 and older, the positive response that President Yoon is "doing well" in state affairs was only 33%.

This is a 12 percentage point drop compared to the previous survey (5th week of June), which recorded 45%.

Negative evaluations increased by 16 percentage points during the same period, from 37% to 53%.

This is the first time in the NBS survey that negative evaluations have surpassed positive ones.

The most common reason for negatively evaluating President Yoon's governance was "being arbitrary and unilateral (30%)." This was followed by "lack of experience and ability (28%)" and "appointing unsuitable figures to the cabinet (16%)."

Party support was recorded as 37% for the People Power Party, 28% for the Democratic Party of Korea, and 5% for the Justice Party.

The reliability of this survey is 95%, with a sampling error of ±3.1 percentage points.
