Lee Jae-myung Approval Holds at 64%; Democratic Party Leads PPP by 25 Points

| Korea

Gallup Korea polling (April 28–30) showed 64% approval for President Lee Jae-myung, slightly below a recent high of 65.5–69%. The modest dip was attributed to public concerns about welfare spending proposals in the administration's economic agenda. The Democratic Party maintained a commanding 46% to 21% lead over the People Power Party in party preference surveys, reflecting the PPP's continued struggle to rebuild credibility after the Yoon Suk-yeol martial law crisis and subsequent dual criminal convictions.
