Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating slipped back to 39 percent this week, a weekly poll showed Friday, amid negative sentiment over his real estate policies and economic concerns, the Korea Times reports. The survey, conducted by Gallup Korea, also showed his disapproval rating rose to 47 percent, surpassing his approval rating, according to a separate poll released Thursday. Yonhap similarly reported the rating fell back below 40 percent on Nov. 13. Earlier in the week, another poll had put his approval at 35.9 percent, with the decline attributed to an intense political standoff over legislation and stock market volatility.
