Overview

  • The latest Realmeter poll showed a 2.4 percentage‐point increase from the previous week, marking four consecutive weeks of rising approval.
  • Negative assessments declined by 2.2 percentage points to 31.4 percent.
  • Support for the ruling Democratic Party rose 3.2 percentage points to 53.8 percent, while backing for the opposition People Power Party fell below 30 percent to 28.8 percent.
  • Realmeter attributed the shifts to Lee’s proactive public engagement and the administration’s rapid response to SK Telecom’s data breach.
  • The approval poll surveyed 2,508 adults nationwide with a 2-point margin of error at a 95 percent confidence level, and a separate party support survey sampled 1,003 adults with a 3.1-point margin of error.
