A public opinion survey result released on the 10th showed that the approval rating for President Lee Jae-myung's governance rose by 3 percentage points to 65% after two weeks. The Democratic Party of Korea maintained a support level of 45%, the same as the previous survey, while the People Power Party dropped by 1 percentage point, falling below 20%.
According to the National Indicators Survey (NBS), a survey conducted by Embrain, Kestatic Research, Korea Research, and Korean Research from the 7th to the 9th on 1,003 males and females aged 18 and older found that 65% responded "that President Lee is doing well as president" to the question, "Do you think the president is doing well in his job?" Compared to the immediate post-inauguration approval rate (53%) from the second week of June, this reflects a steady upward trend, showing a 12 percentage point rise. The response indicating that he is "not doing well" was recorded at 23%.
Regarding the direction of Lee Jae-myung's government operations, 64% responded with "the correct direction," while 26% indicated "an incorrect direction."
In terms of party support, the Democratic Party was at 45% and the People Power Party at 19%. The Reform Party (5%), Rebuilding Korea Party (3%), and The Progressive Party (1%) followed.
In relation to the internal strife and foreign exchange cases, 71% expressed support for the special prosecutor's investigation of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, while 23% opposed.
In evaluating real estate policies, 53% believed the current government's policies were "doing well," while 29% said they were "not doing well." According to the NBS, this indicates a slight increase in the positive evaluation of the government's real estate policies compared to the previous Yoon Suk-yeol administration, while negative evaluations have decreased.
Regarding the 6·27 real estate market stabilization measure, which limited the housing loan ceiling in the metropolitan area to 600 million won, 55% indicated it was "helpful," while 33% felt it was a "burden on actual demand." Fifty percent expect housing prices to remain "unchanged" after six months, with 25% anticipating an "increase" and 18% a "decrease."
The recent NBS survey was conducted using a telephone interview method with virtual mobile numbers (100%), with a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level and a response rate of 19.9%.
