Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating fell back to 39 percent this week, a weekly Gallup Korea poll showed Friday, amid negative sentiment over his real estate policies and economic concerns, the Korea Times reports. The same survey found his disapproval rating at 47 percent, surpassing his approval rating, according to Yonhap. Earlier in the week, a separate NBS poll put his approval at 44 percent and disapproval at 47 percent, while a Realmeter survey from Nov. 9 had his rating at 35.9 percent amid a political standoff and stock market volatility. Korean reaction has been largely negative, with disapproval ratings consistently outrunning approval in recent weeks, though the Democratic Party's own rating rebounded to 39 percent in one poll.
