[Polpol News] President Yoon's Approval Rating Hits New Low Again... Gallup Reports 3%p Drop to 21%

48% Believe the 22nd National Assembly Will Perform Well vs 45% Believe It Will Perform Poorly

President Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating for his administration has hit a new low since his inauguration. After remaining in the low 20% range following the general election defeat, President Yoon's approval rating has dropped again, putting even the 20% range at risk.

According to a regular public opinion poll conducted by Gallup from the 28th to the 30th (a wireless phone survey with interviewers targeting 1,001 people nationwide aged 18 and over), President Yoon's approval rating fell by 3 percentage points from the previous week's survey to 21%. The disapproval rating rose by 3 percentage points to 70%.

This newly released approval rating is the lowest since his inauguration. It is also the first time the disapproval rating has exceeded 60% to reach 70%. President Yoon's approval rating has stagnated in the low 20% range after plummeting from 34% (4th week of March) to 23% (3rd week of April) following the general election defeat.

In terms of party support, the People Power Party received 30%, the Democratic Party of Korea 29%, and the Party for National Innovation 13%.

Regarding the newly inaugurated 22nd National Assembly on the 30th, the public showed mixed feelings. 48% of respondents said they expect the 22nd National Assembly to perform well, while 45% said they expect it to perform poorly. This reflects a decline in expectations compared to four years ago, when 63% responded positively and 30% negatively.

Regarding the outcome of the opposition-majority general election, 53% said it was a good thing, while 33% said it was a bad thing. Concerning the 22nd National Assembly, respondents frequently called for "no fighting, but harmony and cooperation" (19%, open-ended responses). Other requests included "prioritizing the people over party interests," "politics for ordinary people and solving livelihood issues," "diligent responsibility and a working National Assembly" (all 8%), and "economic and price stability" (6%).
