President Lee Jae Myung’s government is facing an unmistakable warning from the public. A single opinion poll should never be treated as a verdict on a government, but the recent trend is difficult to dismiss. More importantly, the erosion of support is becoming visible among politically decisive groups, including moderates, younger voters and residents of the Seoul metropolitan area. A poll conducted by Cho Won C&I from Saturday to Monday found that 42.9 percent of respondents gave a positive evaluation of Lee’s performance as president, while 54.1 percent disapproved. Compared with the previous survey, his approval rating fell 4.5 percentage points while disapproval rose 4.6 points. The shift was particularly striking among voters in their 20s and 30s, as well as moderates. Even among voters in their 40s — once a relatively strong constituency for Lee — disapproval exceeded approval. The regional figures are equally sobering. In Seoul, approval stood at just 37.2 percent, compared with 59.5 percent disapproval. In Incheon and Gyeonggi, disapproval was also above 50 percent. S
