President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating rose to 41 percent in a Gallup Korea poll conducted Nov. 3-5 on 1,001 adults, up 2 percentage points from the previous week and marking the first time in over two months the figure exceeded 40 percent, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. Positive assessments were led by "diplomacy" at 18 percent, followed by "economy and livelihoods" and "communication," while negative views were led by "real estate policy" at 19 percent. Party support stood at 36 percent for the Democratic Party and 28 percent for the People Power Party, with the gap outside the margin of error for the first time in two weeks, according to KBS WORLD and Hankyung. The rating had dipped to 39 percent on Oct. 30 after a brief rebound to 46 percent on Oct. 29, before climbing back above 40 percent.
