President Yoon Sees Approval Rating Rise to 37%
As low as Yoon’s approval ratings are at 37%, this is actually up from the 27% he was previously at just a month ago. However, his negative rating is 60% which is driven by economic concerns. The impact of the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. continues to be an issue his critics have been hammering him on since he could not get any concessions from the Biden administration for Korean companies:
President Yoon Suk Yeol’s approval rating stands at 37.5 percent ahead of this week’s first anniversary of his inauguration, a Yonhap News Agency-Yonhap News TV joint survey showed Tuesday.
The survey also showed the ruling People Power Party (PPP) and the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) would win 32 percent and 30 percent of the vote, respectively, if next year’s parliamentary elections were to take place tomorrow.
Seven out of 10 people also said they are worried about South Korea’s security, the survey showed, amid a series of North Korean missile launches, and tensions with Russia over Ukraine and with China over the cross-strait issue.
According to the poll, the positive assessment of Yoon’s performance was 37.5 percent, while the negative assessment came to 60 percent. (……….)
Defense and diplomacy were the factors most cited by respondents in giving positive assessments of Yoon’s performance, followed by science, health care, culture and the economy, the poll showed.
In contrast, the economy was the factor most cited by respondents in giving negative assessments.

As we have seen time and again, the media influences the poll results by how they ask the questions and who they include in their surveys.
Similarly, the only polls that matter are actual votes.

Yes.
Let us see how the Korean voter votes in next year’s parliamentary elections.
The real test for Yoon.
You know why I like Yoon?
I don’t notice Yoon.
Moon always had sone amazing policy like trying to deny education to unvaccinated children or access to quality food for unvaccinated adults.
You had to eat and run before 9pm because small resturaunts had to close. Then you would walk by Big Business Emart full of people until 11pm.
Not to mention how malls and department stores were full in the daytime.
It was a clear attempt to kill the nightime economy, which is doninated by small business.
Yoon, however is not noticed.
The less government I notice, the better.
He is going to get his first test soon.
The American government pulled a fast one with interest rates and killed regional banks so they can be fed to the big banks at a good price with a taxpayer subsidy and anàl sèx for investors.
The contagion is spredding to Europe and Asia.
It is hard to know the truth. Korea may have learned its lesson. It may be IMF all over again.
But the only lesson anybody learns is how to get theirs and escape blame.
Sooooo…
