President Lee Jae-myung's Approval Rating Reverses to Decline After 3 Weeks

Presidential approval ratings have reversed to a downward trend after three weeks.

This decline is interpreted as being influenced by inappropriate remarks made by a specific individual concerning the May 18th Democratization Movement, as well as comments from the party's floor leader directed at the Gwangju region.

Looking at the specifics, the ruling Democratic Party saw its support rating rise by 11.2 percentage points in the Gwangju/Jeolla region, while the opposition People Power Party's support fell by 9.8 percentage points in the same area.
