South Korea: President Lee faces record low approval

Overview

President Lee Jae-myung’s administration is facing a deepening approval crisis, characterized by a prolonged downward trend in public support. Recent polling from Realmeter and the Korean Society Opinion Institute (KSOI) has shown approval ratings hitting record lows in the 33% to 35% range, with negative evaluations frequently exceeding 60%.

Public dissatisfaction is driven by a broad range of issues, including real estate policy, economic recovery, and national unity. Specific controversies have included judicial conflicts, cabinet appointment failures, and public outcry over police misconduct. Recent drivers of discontent include soaring apartment prices in Seoul, security disputes following mine explosions in the DMZ, and concerns over diplomacy and North Korean tensions. While the President has attempted to use social media to communicate policies and address concerns like rising food prices, critics have labeled this ‘unwise SNS politics.’

Political stability is further challenged by shifting party dynamics. While the Democratic Party of Korea previously held a lead, recent data indicates a significant shift in momentum. The opposition People Power Party has reclaimed the lead in several polls, notably overtaking the Democratic Party in late October by a margin outside the margin of error. This decline in support is particularly notable among moderate voters, the 30s age group, and in the Honam region, which was traditionally a pro-government stronghold.
