President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating edged up for the first time in seven weeks, a poll showed Monday.
President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating rose 0.5 percentage points to 47 percent in a poll commissioned by EKN newspaper and conducted by Realmeter. Disapproval fell 0.3 points to 49.2 percent.
Realmeter attributed the rebound to the government's announcement of the three megaprojects initiative, a 4,755 trillion-won investment plan focused on semiconductors, physical Artificial Intelligence and AI data centers. The pollster noted that sharp stock declines and a weak won limited the gains.
The survey of 2,525 adults aged 18 and older had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. In a separate poll, support for the ruling Democratic Party of Korea rose 2 points to 43 percent, while the main opposition People Power Party fell 1.7 points to 40.3 percent.
