President Lee Jae-myung’s job approval has edged up to 53 percent, according to a new Realmeter poll released on November 3, marking a modest rebound after three weeks of decline.

The survey, conducted by Realmeter for Energy Economy News between October 27 and 31 among 2,517 eligible voters nationwide, showed a 1.8-point increase in positive evaluations of Lee’s performance compared to the previous week. Negative assessments fell by 1.6 points to 43.3 percent, widening the approval gap to 9.7 points.

Realmeter attributed the uptick to recent improvements in key economic indicators, including the KOSPI index surpassing 4,000 and stronger third-quarter growth figures.

The poll has a margin of error of ±2.0 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level, with a response rate of 5.1 percent. Detailed results are available on the National Election Survey Deliberation Commission’s website.
