Lee's approval rating rebounds to 40%

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 Oct. 20-22. Yonhap reports the rating marks a return to the 40% range after seven weeks, with the Chosun Ilbo noting a two-week consecutive rise. The Korea Times attributes the rebound to gains among voters in their 50s and in the Chungcheong region, as cited in the Hankyung report.
