President Lee’s Approval Rating Slides for the Sixth Straight Week Due to Election Controversy

It was unsustainable for Lee to keep such high approval ratings and ever since the election controversy his approval rating has been declining:

President Lee Jae Myung’s approval rating fell for a sixth consecutive week to 46.5 percent, remaining below the 50 percent mark for the second straight week, according to a Realmeter poll released Monday.

The survey, conducted by Realmeter from June 22-26 among 2,502 eligible voters aged 18 and older, put Lee’s job approval rating at 46.5 percent, down 0.2 percentage point from the previous week. Negative assessments of his performance also edged down 0.2 percentage point to 49.5 percent, while 4 percent of respondents said they were unsure.

Lee’s approval rating has been on a steady decline from 60.5 percent in the second week of May, to 59.3 percent in the third week of May, 59.1 percent in the fourth week of May, 55.2 percent in the first week of June, 51.5 percent in the second week of June, 46.7 percent in the third week of June, and 46.5 percent in the fourth week of June.

Realmeter attributed the continued decline to the lingering controversy over the National Election Commission’s mishandling of ballots during the June 3 local elections, coupled with growing public concerns over the economy, including a weak won, persistent inflation and instability in the housing market.
