A Realmeter poll commissioned by Energy Economics News and conducted 15-19 among 2,517 adults shows President Lee Jae-myung with 49.7% disapproval versus 46.7% approval — the first time disapproval has exceeded approval since he took office in June last year. Approval fell 4.8 percentage points week-on-week; disapproval rose 5.5 points. Pollster flagged a shortfall of votes in local elections as a key reason for the slide.
