In a public opinion poll conducted by MBC over the Lunar New Year holiday, President Lee Jae Myung’s job approval rating surpassed 60%, and more than half of respondents said the government’s real estate policies would help ease housing burdens.

In evaluating the president’s performance, 64% of respondents gave a positive assessment, saying President Lee is “doing a good job,” while 30% gave a negative assessment, saying he is “doing a poor job.”

When asked about the most positively evaluated achievement since the launch of the Lee Jae Myung administration, 22% selected “strengthening communication with the public and increasing transparency in state affairs” as the top achievement. This was followed by “stabilizing livelihoods and economic recovery” at 19%, “diplomatic and security stability and diplomacy centered on national interests” at 15%, and “protection of socially vulnerable groups and welfare” at 9%.

As for shortcomings in the administration’s governance, “resolving political conflicts and promoting social integration” ranked highest at 17%, followed by “livelihood and economic recovery” at 16%, “stability of foreign and security policy” at 13%, and “bipartisan cooperation in the National Assembly and legislative achievements” at 11%.

In party approval ratings, the Democratic Party of Korea recorded 46%, ahead of the People Power Party at 23%. The New Reform Party stood at 4%, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party at 3%, and the Progressive Party at 2%.

Regarding the local elections to be held on June 3, 54% of respondents said “voters should support the ruling party to ensure stability in state affairs,” while 37% said “voters should support the opposition party to check the current government.”

On the Lee administration’s real estate policy, 52% expressed a “positive outlook,” believing the policy would be effective, while 44% expressed a “negative outlook.” Concerning the government’s stock market stimulus policies, including the “KOSPI 5000” initiative, 61% said they would have a positive impact on the overall domestic economy, nearly double the 31% who responded negatively.

In response to a question about whether they sympathize with labor union opposition to industrial automation, 59% said they do not sympathize, while 35% said they do. Regarding whether to allow large supermarkets to conduct early dawn delivery services, 74% supported the measure “to improve consumer convenience and strengthen distribution competitiveness,” while 22% opposed it, citing “worsening labor conditions and harm to small business owners.”

The survey was conducted by Korea Research at the request of MBC over three days starting on the 11th, targeting 1,000 men and women aged 18 and over nationwide. The response rate was 12%.

The survey was conducted through telephone interviews using virtual mobile numbers provided by Korea’s three major telecommunications companies. The margin of error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
