Polling "deathcross" in President Yoon's public approval/disapproval rating?



(Source-언론 알아야 바꾼다 youtube 7.4; 2찍 국민들의 늦은 후회...) South Korean public surveys agree that President Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating (blue lines) took a dive during his visit to Madrid, while his disapproval rating (red lines) rose to over 50 percent in most surveys. This is being evaluated as a "death cross" by opposition political analysts and ostensibly presages a rocky road ahead for the right wing president.

Leading reasons for Yoon's rising disapproval include poor personnel choices by the new administration and failure to monitor the conditions citizens face during a rocky economic period. The high disapproval rating is unprecedented for a newly elected president in the post dictatorship period of South Korea. Yoon's election margin on March 9, 2022, of .7 percent was the smallest in South Korea election history. The most detailed polling data noted that high declines in approval percentages were observed in the oldest (over 70) voters and also in the Taegu area. These two demographics are still both regarded as strongholds of conservative support.
