President Yoon’s Approval Rating Drops from 53% to 45% in One Month

That did not take long for President Yoon to enter negative territory for his approval rating:

 President Yoon Suk-yeol’s disapproval rating surpassed his approval rating in a poll released Sunday.

The survey by Research View, conducted on 1,000 South Koreans aged 18 or over from last Tuesday to Thursday, was the latest in a series of national polls, in which those giving a negative assessment of Yoon’s performance outnumbered those who were bullish on the president.

This poll was conducted while Yoon was visiting Spain for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, his first overseas trip since taking office in May.

According to Research View, 51 percent of the polled said Yoon has been doing an inadequate job as president, while 45 percent said he is handling state affairs well.

You can read more at the link, but according to the article a month ago his approval rating was at 53%. The only thing I can conclude is that voters are now holding him responsible for inflation and economic woes and going to NATO summits is not addressing these issues.

Polls are easily manipulated by the leftist media. China pumps a lot of money into those gormless, feckless, faithless scoundrels.

I too am skeptical in such a drop in polling numbers.

– historically, the public gives a longer timeframe before lowering their opinions of a new president

– it is quite a large drop

– there are no specific unpopular policies being pushed through to cause all this

The entrenched commies, Chinese assets, and globalists which inflitrated Korean media and government over the last 5 years are still working their magic.

Fire up the helicopters.

Yoon just claimed that making money in China is now over. But latest figures show that South Korea’s dependence on China for trade has gone up since Yoon has taken power. Absolutely clueless.

Of course, all the mismanaged economic policies are the fault of the leftist globalist commies!

What setnaffa and Chicken Head do not realize is that Yoon was voted in by voters who were sick and tired of Moon’s policies especially the failed real estate policies.

But, Yoon is back pedaling on his campaign prromises. His latest real estate policy is no different than the ones implemented by Moon.

Even GIKorea and setnaffa should have realized by now that they are not getting their cherished second THAAD battery promised by Yoon during the presidential campaign.

So, you have the leftist voters who did not vote for Yoon who will disapprove him during opinion polls. Combine that with those who voted for Yoon for change and is now showing their disappointment, it is no wonder that his disapproval ratings will go up.

Sorry, Chinabots, we already know Yoon is unpopular in Beijing. You’re just being predictable, redundant, and boring.

Chinabots, we already know Yoon is unpopular in Beijing.

More proof, that setnaffa and his Church despite their claims, do not know and understand the issues and dynamics of Korea and are simplly rednecks using the ROK Drop as their platform to spread their right wing conspiracy theories so as to realize their dream of splitting America into two countries.

“Korea” Person, is there any anti-Korean / pro-Chinese viewpoint you don’t try to push off on everyone?

You should just admit to being a paid Chinese influencer.

If you keep insisting you are Korean, you are either a traitor or a Chinaboo.

Traitors should be put to death. Chinaboos are already dead inside.

Yoon’s drive to reduce dependence on China makes Korea stronger. We have already seen what happens when you put all your eggs in the Chinese basket.

Why don’t we talk about something pleasant that we can agree on… like oppressed Muslim minorities used as slave labor to enrich crony capitalists by building noisyflashy crap.
