A survey released Thursday showed that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s approval rating has risen over the past two weeks.

According to the National Barometer Survey(NBS) of one-thousand-two adults across the nation, conducted by Embrain Public, KSTAT Research, Korea Research and Hankook Research from Monday to Wednesday, 27 percent of respondents reacted positively to the way the Yoon administration handled state affairs, up eight percentage points from two weeks earlier.

Earlier NBS surveys showed President Yoon’s approval rating beginning to decline in the fourth week of July and reaching a record low of 19 percent in the first week of November.

This is the first rebound in four months. 

The number of respondents who viewed Yoon’s performance negatively fell by six percentage points to 68 percent.

The survey had a response rate of 16-point-seven percent with a margin of error of plus or minus three-point-one percentage points and a 95 percent confidence level.
