Less than halfway through the president’s term
‘Psychological Maginot Line’ collapses at 20%… The⁤ survey also found that ⁣only 17% had ‌positive evaluations of⁣ government administration.
Internally, “an approval rating that is difficult to see even at the end of the term”… Jeong Jin-seok, notice of​ absence from city administration speech

A ⁤public opinion poll showed that the percentage of positive​ evaluations of President ‌Yoon Seok-yeol’s performance in state affairs fell ⁢to the 10% range for the first time since he took office.⁣ The 20% level, ​which ​is considered the ‘psychological Maginot Line’ for the driving force ⁢of state administration, has collapsed ⁣before the turning point (10‍ days) ⁢has passed. The People Power Party said, “The 10% mark that appears only at the end of the term has ⁤already been reached. ​The atmosphere is seething, saying, “If President ⁣Yoon does ‌not⁣ take special measures, ‍the ⁢decline in approval ratings cannot be‍ stopped.”

In a public opinion poll conducted by Gallup Korea from the 29th to the 31st ​of last month and released on the 1st, the evaluation of President Yoon’s performance of state affairs as ⁤’doing well’ was found to be 19%, the lowest during his term. The negative evaluation that ‘we are doing it wrong’ was also the highest at 72%.

In particular, according to today’s survey, even in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk (TK) region, ​a key conservative stronghold, the approval rating for the⁢ president’s performance of state affairs was 18%, down 8 percentage points⁣ from 26% last week. This ‌figure is 1 percentage point lower ⁢than the national average, and is the first time it has‌ been recorded in the 10% range in the TK region. ​After the ruling party’s crushing defeat in the general election (April 26), the approval‍ rating​ was lower than the 25% approval ‍rating, leading to⁤ an assessment that a dissent is occurring in conservative public opinion.

President Yoon’s core support base in Busan and Gyeongnam (PK), People Power Party ⁢supporters, conservatives, and people in their 60s all showed ‍a downward ‌trend in approval ratings for state administration.⁣ The‌ PK region recorded 22%, down 5 percentage points from⁤ last week (27%), and 24% of respondents in their 60s ‍also gave a positive evaluation, 7 percentage points lower than ‌the previous week. Those who said their political inclination was‌ conservative⁤ were‌ 33%, 7 percentage points lower than ‍last week, ⁢and those who said they were‍ People Power Party supporters were 44%, 4 percentage points lower than the previous week.

There is an analysis that the decline⁣ in approval ratings may have been partly influenced by the phone call between President​ Yoon and Myung Tae-gyun, a key party involved​ in the ‘suspicion of ⁣interference in nominations’, which was⁣ disclosed by the Democratic Party​ of Korea on the 31st⁤ of last month, the last​ day of the survey period. Gallup Korea ​analyzed, ⁣“It appears that the repercussions will be revealed later.”

An official from‌ the People Power ⁢Party leadership said, ‌“It is confirmed that all ⁣of the core⁣ supporters are leaving,”​ and added,‍ “The decline in approval ratings can be‍ stopped only if President Yoon provides an honest explanation on⁢ the issue of ‌First Lady Kim Kun-hee​ and carries out a⁣ major personnel overhaul.”

In a survey⁢ conducted by Embrain Public on 1,007 men and women over the age of 18 nationwide on the 27th and 28th ⁢of last month at the request of⁣ Munhwa Ilbo, 17% ​had a positive evaluation of President Yoon’s performance of state affairs, and ⁤78% had a ⁢negative⁤ evaluation.

‌Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok appeared before the National Assembly Steering Committee on the 1st and⁣ said, “As of now, I understand that Prime Minister Han Deok-soo is leaving,” ⁢during next year’s budget speech held at the National Assembly on the 4th. If President Yoon does not deliver a ⁢city administration speech, the Prime Minister will read the speech for the first time in ‌11 years​ since⁣ 2013.

Hot ⁤news now

The recent public opinion polls indicate a significant decline ⁤in the approval ratings for President Yoon Seok-yeol, ‌with his positive evaluation now ‌in ⁤the 10% range for the first time since ⁤taking office. The situation has raised concerns ⁤within the People Power Party, with members stating that if ⁤immediate⁤ actions are not ⁣taken, the‍ decreasing trend in⁣ approval ratings may continue unabated.

Key findings‍ from the polls conducted by Gallup Korea and⁣ others reveal:

– As⁤ of⁤ the beginning of November, only 19% of respondents rated‌ President Yoon’s performance positively, while a troubling 72% disapproved.

– Approval ratings in traditionally ​conservative regions, such as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, fell to 18%, marking a⁤ notable decline from previous⁢ weeks,⁢ indicating a ⁤dissent among core conservative‍ supporters.

– The dissatisfaction is⁤ evident across various ​demographics, particularly in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions and among​ voters aged 60 and older.

Factors contributing to this decline might ‌include recent controversies, ‌such as President Yoon’s phone call related to nomination ‍interference, which has⁢ sparked criticism from the opposition Democratic Party of Korea. Party⁢ leaders are⁢ suggesting that ‍a transparent explanation regarding ongoing issues, especially ​concerning First Lady Kim Kun-hee, combined with a significant reshuffle in the administration, could ‌help mitigate the fallout.

The overall political landscape appears‌ to⁣ be ‍shifting, with key members of the ruling party acknowledging ⁤that⁣ core supporters are distancing themselves. The​ public’s reaction to ⁢these dynamics suggests a ⁢challenging road ahead for President Yoon, particularly as he ⁤approaches ⁣a mid-term evaluation of⁢ his presidency.
