An abnormal signal is being detected in public sentiment as a series of polls show that President Lee Jae Myung’s approval rating is plummeting in the 2030s. Analysts say that their dissatisfaction is leading to a drop in approval ratings as issues directly related to young people, such as real estate policies, emerge as the biggest issue following the plunge in the stock market.<\/p>\n

According to the political circle on the 9th, President Lee Jae Myung’s approval rating for state affairs is fluctuating in the 40 percent range in various opinion polls. In particular, negative evaluations among people in their 20s and 30s seem to be increasing significantly.<\/p>\n

According to a poll conducted by Media Tomato on 1,037 people aged 18 or older nationwide on the 3rd and 4th at the request of News Tomato, President Lee’s positive evaluation of state affairs was 47.7%. The negative rating was 48.5 percent.<\/p>\n

However, in 2030, President Lee’s approval rating remained in the 30% range. By age, the negative evaluation was far ahead in the 20s with 33.9% positive evaluation, 59.0% negative evaluation, 36.6% positive evaluation, and 61.0% negative evaluation.<\/p>\n

A similar pattern was found in the Realmeter survey released on the 3rd.<\/p>\n

According to a poll of 2,508 people aged 18 or older nationwide from the 27th to the 31st of last month by Realmeter at the request of the Energy Economy Newspaper, President Lee’s positive assessment of state affairs was 45.9 percent and negative assessment was 50.5 percent.<\/p>\n

Positive evaluations were only 30.4% in their 20s and 31.9% in their 30s. Negative assessments were 65.7% and 65.7%, respectively.<\/p>\n

There is a big difference from the poll results of those in their 40s (50.0% positive and 46.8% negative), those in their 50s (54.5% positive and 43.6%), those in their 60s (54.5% negative, 43.0% negative), and those in their 70s (49.0% positive and 43.3% positive).<\/p>\n

The government’s real estate policy and the stock market plunge are cited as the background of such a decline in approval ratings among people in their 20s and 30s.<\/p>\n

“Young people are accepting the recently announced real estate measures that ‘the hope of having a house has gone further,'” said Park Sang-byung, a political commentator. “Although the tax burden on ultra-high-priced homeowners has increased, the frustration of young people without homes has increased as it has the effect of raising expectations for price hikes in the mid- to low-priced housing market.”<\/p>\n

He analyzed that the stock market situation also affected the public sentiment. “Since the launch of the government, not a few young people have entered the investment with expectations for the stock market, but not many have seen actual profits,” he said. “The relative deprivation has grown and young people who have lost hope seem to have left.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the MediaTomato poll cited in the article was conducted in a wireless ARS method using randomized random numbers. The sampling error was 95% confidence level, \u00b13.0 percentage points, and the response rate was 1.8%.<\/p>\n

The Realmeter poll was conducted in an automated response (ARS) method using random radio random numbers. The sampling error was \u00b12.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level and the response rate was 3.8%.<\/p>\n
