President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating for state affairs fell for the fourth consecutive week, hitting a record low of 43.3% since taking office. It is analyzed that the controversy over real estate tax revisions and the controversy over criminal procedure law revisions led to defections from Seoul, conservative groups, and older generations, resulting in a decline in approval ratings. The Democratic Party recorded 44.6%, while the People Power Party recorded 37.6%, with the Democratic Party still maintaining its lead, but the gap narrowed to 7.0 percentage points. The People Power Party secured its support base through an offensive against the government's tax revision plan and the amendment of the Criminal Procedure Act, but internal conflicts within the party limited its approval rating increase.
