However, the negative evaluation also increased by 0.4 percentage points to 61.6% compared to the previous survey.

However, President Yoon's daily approval rating showed a recovery after hitting 35.3% on the 29th of last month, reaching 37.4% on the 31st of last month.

President Yoon's approval rating stood out among those in their 30s (up 5.0 percentage points, from 30.7% to 35.7%), those aged 70 and above (up 4.9 percentage points, from 53.3% to 58.2%), and workers in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries (up 6.6 percentage points, from 44.9% to 51.5%).

The Democratic Party saw rising support among those in their 20s (up 7.2 percentage points, from 40.0% to 47.2%), students (up 14.2 percentage points, from 35.3% to 49.5%), and the unemployed/retired/others (up 7.1 percentage points, from 34.8% to 41.9%).

On the same day, Hong Joon-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, criticized the People Power Party's approval rating on social media, saying, "Usually, when a new leadership takes office, the party's approval rating surges due to the convention effect, but have we analyzed why our party's approval rating is plummeting instead?" He added, "If the party leadership continues to act weakly and without conviction or philosophy, is there any guarantee that we will not return to a non-standing committee system ahead of the next general election?"
