Multiple scandals have sent Democratic Party’s approval rating into tailspin as parliamentary elections draw nearer
As parliamentary elections approach, lawmakers from the ruling People Power Party (PPP) may have concerns about their prospects of retaking control of the National Assembly, particularly in light of President Yoon Suk-yeol’s perpetually low approval ratings.
But so far this does not mean the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) will cruise to victory, as the Democrats have seen their public support spiral downward in recent weeks. Gallup Korea polls from the end of April broke down approval rates for the two major parties at 37% for the DP and 32% for the PPP.
