Lee's approval rating recovers to 40% for first time since September

President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating rose to 40 percent, the first time since early September, according to a Gallup Korea poll of 1,001 people conducted October 20-22. Yonhap reports this marks the first return to the 40% range in seven weeks, with support rising for two consecutive weeks. Chosun Ilbo notes the recovery was driven by voters in their 50s and the Chungcheong region. The poll also found 34% support and 39% opposition to the impeachment of Cho Hee-dae.
