Democratic Party Approval Surpasses President Lee Jae-myung, Fueling Internal Division
President Lee Jae-myung and First Lady Kim Hye-kyung are moving to Air Force One at Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Mexico City on the 26th (local time) after completing a state visit to Mexico. Yonhap News As signs of divergence emerge between the approval ratings of President Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party, there are no indications that internal friction within and outside the party will be resolved anytime soon.
While President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating, which had maintained high levels until the June 3 local elections, is showing a significant downward trend, a phenomenon of "approval rating inversion" is being observed, where the Democratic Party's approval rating is higher than the President's. Although the Democratic Party's approval rating is also on a downward trend in a broad sense, it generally appears higher than the President's approval rating. In a survey released by Realmeter on the 21st, President Lee's approval rating recorded 34.8%, up 1 percentage point (p) from the previous week, while the Democratic Party's approval rating recorded 40.2%, up 4.1%p.
In a Gallup Korea survey released on the 18th (conducted from the 15th to the 17th among 1,002 people, via wireless telephone interviews, margin of error ±3.1%p at a 95% confidence level, response rate 9.9%), a "decoupling" phenomenon was even observed, where the President's approval rating fell by 1%p compared to the previous week, while the party's approval rating rose by 2%p.
Some analysts evaluate that the ongoing ideological conflict within the ruling camp between the so-called "core" (traditional core) supporters and the new support base for the President, referred to as "New Lee Jae-myung," is having a greater impact on the President's approval rating than on the party itself.
