Support for South Korea's Democratic Party of Korea fell 2 percentage points to 35% and support for the People Power Party rose 2 points to 30% in a Gallup Korea survey of 1,000 adults conducted October 27-29. The five-point gap was the narrowest since the Lee Jae Myung government began, with the Democratic Party returning to its lowest level under the administration and the People Power Party reaching its highest. The difference has narrowed steadily since the June 3 local elections, from 30 points in the first week of April, when the parties stood at 48% and 18%, respectively, and is now within the survey's margin of error. The Rebuilding Korea Party received 3%, the Reform Party 2%, and the Progressive Party 1%, while 28% supported no specific party. Among progressives, 73% backed the Democratic Party, while 64% of conservatives supported the People Power Party. Moderates favored no specific party at 35%, followed by the Democratic Party at 34% and the People Power Party at 24%. President Lee's approval rating fell 1 percentage point to 39% after briefly rebounding to 40% in the previous survey, while disapproval also fell 1 point to 49%; 12% gave no opinion. Approval reached 53% among respondents in their 40s and 50s, while negative assessments led in every other age group. Diplomacy was the most frequently cited reason for positive assessments at 17%, followed by economic and livelihood issues at 14% and communication at 8%. Among those who disapproved, housing policy accounted for 19%, economic concerns for 17%, and defense, security and North Korea policy for 10%. Respondents were divided over an appellate court's acquittal of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon on Political Funds Act charges, with 34% calling the ruling right and 37% calling it wrong. The poll used computer-assisted telephone interviews with randomly selected wireless phone virtual numbers, had a 10.4% response rate, and carried a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
