Ruling Party Candidates Distance Themselves from President Moon

Remember how popular President Moon was a few years ago, well now his own party members do not want much to do with him:

Amid declining approval ratings for President Moon Jae-in especially following public anger over property speculation scandals involving public officials, the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) and its candidates running in next week’s Seoul and Busan mayoral by-elections are keeping the Moon administration at arm’s length, with some even criticizing its policy failures including its real estate drive.

This trend of erasing any vestiges of an unpopular state leader among the ruling side is raising speculation that they would accelerate Moon’s descent into a “lame-duck” presidency after the April 7 by-elections. Moon’s term is scheduled to end in May 2022. 

According to a Gallup Korea survey last week, Moon’s approval rating dropped to its lowest point at 34 percent, along with the highest disapproval rating at 59 percent, due mainly to his administration’s poor real estate policy that has failed to curb skyrocketing housing prices across the nation.
