Changes in President Lee Jae-myung's Approval Ratings and Future Tasks for State Affairs
According to recent monthly integrated data from Gallup Korea, the period when President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating was at its highest since taking office was April 2026. At that time, the positive assessment rate was 66%, while the negative assessment rate was 24%.
However, various analyses regarding the management of state affairs alongside changes in approval ratings have recently emerged in political circles. In particular, as some have raised concerns about an 'early lame duck' period, attention is focused on what decisions the President will make moving forward.
Political experts point out that policy changes and strengthened communication are necessary to stabilize the current trend in approval ratings. Many suggest that it is urgent to prepare concrete measures to restore public trust and maintain momentum in state affairs.
Attention is now focused on what political decisions President Lee Jae-myung will make to find a breakthrough in the management of state affairs. It appears that the government will prioritize the recovery of the people's livelihood economy and the resolution of social conflicts as it pushes forward with its policies.
