KRSouth Korean President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has fallen to 38.9%, marking the first time it has dipped below 40% since he took office, according to a Realmeter poll. This represents a 1.3-point decrease from the previous week, with his disapproval rating rising to 58.7%. The most significant drop in support occurred among voters in their 50s, who saw their approval fall 7.5 percentage points. Regional declines were particularly notable in Daejeon, Sejong, and the Chungcheong area. Realmeter cited factors such as rising dissatisfaction with housing costs, controversies around Supreme Court justice nominations, concerns over police handling of missing persons cases in Jeju, and internal conflicts within the ruling party as reasons for the declining ratings.
