[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] President Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating has slightly declined. After hitting a low last week, President Yoon's approval rating remains in the high 20% range.


According to Gallup's regular survey conducted from the 23rd to the 25th (a telephone interviewer survey of 1,001 adults aged 18 and over nationwide), 27% responded that President Yoon is performing his duties well, while 64% responded that he is performing poorly. Compared to last week's survey on the same question, positive evaluations of good performance dropped by 1 percentage point. Negative evaluations remained the same as last week.


President Yoon's approval rating peaked at 53% in the second week of June and has since been declining, hitting a low of 24% last week. Although there was a recovery, it dropped again after reaching 28% last week.


The highest positive responses to President Yoon's performance came from the People Power Party supporters (60%) and those aged 70 and above (54%). Among conservatives and those in their 60s, positive and negative evaluations were similar at 44% vs. 48% and 47% vs. 47%, respectively.


Regarding President Yoon's relocation of the presidential office from the Blue House to Yongsan, 31% viewed it positively, while 56% viewed it negatively. Around one month after the office relocation (survey conducted from the 7th to the 9th), positive and negative evaluations were equal at 44%, but negative opinions have since become dominant.
