Support among conservatives falters as controversies swirl around South Korean president's administration and party
For Yoon Suk-yeol, it is time to be concerned. Just two months into his presidency, his approval rates have fallen to new lows, and those declines have been driven in part by serious dips among cohorts that should be among his most strident supporters.
Yoon is clearly feeling the pressure. Officials within his administration are under fire for questionable hiring practices. There is serious internal strife within the People’s Power Party (PPP), with the party suspending its scandal-ridden chairman and the chairman refusing to accept the suspension. To right the ship, there is already speculation that Yoon will reshuffle his cabinet just a few months into his term.
