According to a survey conducted by Realmeter on the 7th of last month from the 31st of last month to the 4th of this month, targeting 2,510 voters aged 18 and over nationwide, the positive evaluation of President Lee's administration was 37.4%, a decrease of 1.5 percentage points from the previous week. On the other hand, the negative rating rose by 0.8 percentage points to 59.5%, and the gap between positive and negative evaluations was 22.1 percentage points, far outside the margin of error. President Lee's approval rating has been declining for eight consecutive weeks, and on the 28th of last month, The positive rating, which closed at 38.2%, dropped to 36.4% on the 1st and 36.3% on the 2nd of this month, then slightly rebounded to 37.1% on the 3rd and 37.2% on the 4th, but hit a weekly low again. Especially in Seoul and the metropolitan area , the decline was significant: Seoul's positive rating plunged 6.0 percentage points from the previous week, Incheon and Gyeonggi dropped by 2.3 percentage points, Daegu and Gyeongbuk also dropped by 2.9 percentage points, but Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungcheong rose by 5.6 percentage points. By age group, the decline was largest among those in their 30s and 60s at 4.9 percentage points each, followed by a 2.1 percentage point decrease among those in their 40s, 1.3 percentage points among those aged 70 and above, but a 3.1 percentage point increase among those in their 50s. Realmeter analyzed, "Recently, suspicions of preferential treatment and cancellation of charges surrounding the second-term cabinet reshuffle, controversy over the repatriation of real estate tax reform proposals reverting to the real estate tax reform plan, and remarks by former Cho Kuk Innovation Party leader regarding presidential judicial risks have overlapped, spreading negative public opinion about government personnel and policy trust, which is believed to have led to a decline in approval ratings." Democratic Party approval ratings have also declined. In a party support survey conducted on the 3rd~4th of 1,001 voters aged 18 and over nationwide , the Democratic Party recorded 41.8%, down 1.3 percentage points from the previous week. On the other hand, the People Power Party's support dropped by just 0.1 percentage points to 37.6%, causing President Lee and the Democratic Party's approval ratings to drop, yet the opposition People Power Party did not reap significant benefits.
