A poll showed on the 29th that President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating for state affairs fell for six consecutive weeks to 46.5%.

According to a survey of 2,502 voters aged 18 or older nationwide from the 22nd to the 26th (June 4th) at the request of the Energy Economy Newspaper, President Lee's support for state affairs was 46.5%, down 0.2 percentage points from last week.

President Lee's approval rating has been on the decline for six consecutive weeks, from 60.5 percent in the two-week survey in May to 59.3 percent in the three weeks of May, 59.1 percent in the four weeks of May, 55.2 percent in the first week of June, 51.5 percent in the second week of June, and 46.7 percent in the third week of June.

The negative evaluation of respondents who answered 'wrong' decreased by 0.2 percentage points to 49.5%. 4.0% of the respondents said they didn't know.

"As the aftermath of the Election Commission's poor management of ballots continues, distrust of the economy of people's livelihoods, such as high exchange rates, high prices, and instability in the real estate market, seems to have negatively affected President Lee's approval rating," Realmeter said. "The approval rating continued to decline due to the recent policy to abolish the prosecution's supplementary investigation rights and political battles between the ruling and opposition parties over investment in semiconductors in Honam."

From the 25th to the 26th, a survey of 1,002 voters aged 18 or older nationwide showed that the power of the people was 42.0%, down 0.3 percentage points from the previous week, and 41.0%, up 0.9 percentage points from the Democratic Party of Korea. The gap between the two parties is 1.0 percentage points.

It was followed by 3.7% of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, 2.8% of the Reform New Party, and 1.5% of the Progressive Party. Other parties accounted for 2.1 percent and non-partisan parties accounted for 6.9 percent.

Regarding the public's power approval rating, Realmeter explained, "The influence of the intra-party conflict over representative Jang Dong-hyuk caused support from Seoul, Chungcheong and the middle class, but it only fell slightly due to the gathering of key supporters in the Yeongnam region."

Regarding the Democratic Party's approval rating, he added, "The issue of investment in Honam semiconductor clusters led to a rise in approval ratings by rallying supporters in their 40s with Gwangju and Jeolla."

Both surveys were conducted in a wireless (100%) automatic response method.

The sample error of the presidential approval rating survey is ±2.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, and the sample error of the party approval rating survey is ±3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The response rates were 4.1 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively.
