South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s approval rating has dropped to 20%, according to Gallup Korea’s latest poll, marking the lowest since he took office in May 2022. His negative assessment climbed to 70%, reflecting growing public discontent. Meanwhile, the ruling People Power Party’s approval rating is 28%, and the main opposition Democratic Party’s is 33%.

The drop in Yoon’s approval marks the third consecutive week of ratings below 30%. Analysts point to eroding support from conservative voters, traditionally his base, as a significant factor in this trend. The poll surveyed 1,002 adults from Sept. 10 to 12, with a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
