South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's approval rating increased for the
second consecutive week due to in part of the government's efforts on
improving the economy and people's livelihoods, a new poll showed on
Monday.
In the poll of 2,015 voters conducted by
Realmeter from September 13-16, 34.4 per cent positively assessed Yoon's
handling of state affairs, up 1.8 percentage points from the previous
poll, while 63.2 per cent gave a negative assessment, down 1.4
percentage points, reports Yonhap News Agency.
This marks the second consecutive week his approval rating rose in a Realmeter poll.
"Public
support for Yoon appears to have become stable as he focused on
bettering the economy and people's livelihoods while staying away from
political issues," a senior analyst at Realmeter said.
The
President's future approval rating could change according to results he
brings on pending issues, including the bio and semiconductor industry,
currency swap with the United States and forced labour issue with Japan,
from his three-nation trip this week, the analyst added.
Yoon
left for London on Sunday to attend the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth
II, kicking off a three-nation trip that will include his first address
to the UN General Assembly, and summits with US President Joe Biden and
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
In terms of party
favourability, Yoon's People Power Party garnered support of 38.3 per
cent, up 3.1 percentage points from the previous week, and the main
opposition Democratic Party received support of 46.2 per cent, down 2.2
percentage points over the same period.
