Lee Jae-myung's Approval Rating Falls Below 30% Mark… Seoul Negative Rating Exceeds 70%

Notably, responses of 'very poorly' reached nearly 48%, approaching a majority. This indicates that 5 out of 10 citizens express strong dissatisfaction with Lee Jae-myung.

Concurrently, 'very well' responses from his core supporters stood at only 21.8%, showing signs of erosion in his traditional support base. The overall negative evaluation reached 61.9%, reflecting the public's cold reception of Lee Jae-myung.

Seonwoo Yoon-ho mentioned, "35% has collapsed. 'Very poorly,' 'I really dislike Lee Jae-myung,' is at 48%, just shy of a majority, effectively meaning 5 out of 10 citizens are saying, 'I really dislike Lee Jae-myung.'"

This can be interpreted as a sign of cracks forming in the Democratic Party's internal cohesion and the onset of a lame duck period. Seonwoo Yoon-ho stated, "Cho Kuk previously said that unless the Supreme Court's legal principle—related to Lee Jae-myung's Public Official Election Act violation case—is overturned, there's a very high probability of a guilty verdict in the second trial, which will resume after Lee Jae-myung's term."

Even Rep. Kim Min-seok, who was classified as pro-Lee Jae-myung, has officially expressed opposition to government policies, indicating that internal power struggles are surfacing. This phenomenon appears to be a signal that figures vying for future power are distancing themselves from Lee Jae-myung and beginning to align with new factions.

Criticism of Lee Jae-myung by party insiders, which was previously unimaginable, is gradually becoming more explicit, contributing to the deepening crisis in Lee Jae-myung's leadership.

There's even a metaphor comparing Lee Jae-myung to a 'scapegoat' to cover up the entire party's misdeeds. This suggests that the 'Lee Jae-myung risk' is perceived as a burden on the entire party.

The speaker commented, "They might be making Lee Jae-myung a scapegoat to pin all the Democratic Party's mistakes on him, like he's going down the drain now, his usefulness is gone. So, they might be preparing to spit him out like chewed gum, now that all the flavor is gone." He analyzed that they are effectively adopting a strategy of distancing themselves from Lee Jae-myung, likening him to a 'stock to be delisted.'

These movements indicate a growing realization that a change in Lee Jae-myung's leadership is necessary for the party's victory in the general election.

His negative rating reached 61.9%, with nearly 48% responding 'very poorly.'

The host announced, "His positive rating of 34.7 has broken the 35% barrier. And the negative rating is 61.9, with 'very poorly,' meaning people who said 'I really dislike Lee Jae-myung,' reaching 48%."

This is interpreted as a significant indicator that could lead to a decline in the Democratic Party's approval rating, along with strong distrust in Lee Jae-myung's leadership.

The negative evaluation of Lee Jae-myung by those in their 30s reached 70.5%, the highest among all age groups. This is analyzed as a reflection of current economic conditions and anxiety about the future, considering that people in their 30s typically start families and accumulate assets.

The speaker explained, "Among the high negative ratings, wouldn't the 30s be the highest right now? People in their 30s form families and buy homes. They start accumulating assets. But now, people in their 30s have lost the path to accumulating assets." In particular, the collapse of the social mobility ladder due to rising real estate prices has resulted in direct economic losses for those in their 30s, leading to a withdrawal of support.

This strong opposition from those in their 30s appears to stem from economic dissatisfaction and frustration, beyond mere political preference.

This means that two out of three people in their 40s are criticizing the Lee Jae-myung administration. Jang Dong-ran stated, "In their 40s, 66% have a negative opinion, meaning two out of three people criticize the Lee Jae-myung administration, and in their 50s, it's also over half."

The negative evaluation among those in their 50s also exceeded 55.1%, confirming that criticism of Lee Jae-myung is spreading across all age groups.

This is higher than in the Chungcheong region (64.9%) and Daegu-Gyeongbuk (64.3%). Seonwoo Yoon-ho provided specific figures, stating, "Lee Jae-myung's negative rating in Seoul exceeded 70%. ... Negative evaluation of Lee Jae-myung is 70.2% in Seoul, 64.9% in Chungcheong, and 64.3% in Daegu-Gyeongbuk."

Such a high negative rating in Seoul, traditionally a stronghold of Democratic Party support, indicates that anti-Lee Jae-myung sentiment is severely alienating public sentiment in the capital region.

This is considered a crucial indicator that could negatively impact the Democratic Party in future general elections. The fact that the negative rating is higher in Seoul than in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk (TK) region is particularly noteworthy.

This is interpreted as an effort to strengthen communication with young people and citizens in Honam, a traditional stronghold of the Democratic Party, and a strategy to expand his base amidst Lee Jae-myung's declining approval rating.

Seonwoo Yoon-ho explained the background of the accountability argument, saying, "Who nominated her? Didn't Lee Jae-myung nominate her? If Lee Jae-myung didn't nominate her, then he's a figurehead. It has to go this way."

This argument was raised as a rebuttal to the logic of attributing internal party controversy to a specific individual's fault, ultimately leading to criticism of the party leader's decision. This controversy amplifies questions about Lee Jae-myung's leadership and the nomination system.

Claims of involvement by pro-Lee Jae-myung figures such as Korea Boardgames and Rep. Kim Min-seok have also been raised, fueling questions about fairness. These allegations are leading to criticism of Lee Jae-myung's management of close associates and the nomination system.

Allegations of solicitation regarding the clinical approval of Genecell's COVID-19 treatment are fueling controversy, especially when coupled with the fact that approval occurred in just one month despite 14 requests for supplementary information.

Lee Jae-neung pointed out, "Before clinical trials, don't they conduct non-clinical trials on animals? They experimented on hamsters, and one out of five died, and on average, significant pulmonary asymmetry was found in the remaining 80%."

This is being criticized as abnormal compared to standard clinical trial approval procedures and is spreading into a serious controversy, combined with allegations of solicitation.

This criticism includes references to cases of defending alleged sexual offenders and organized crime members, arguing that their legal activities were unethical to the extent that the title of human rights lawyer became meaningless.

Strong criticism has been raised against the Ministry of National Defense's policy to consolidate military academies. It is argued that the move to abolish military academies with a 70-year history lacks justification. Officers are strongly resisting, holding rallies to protest. Jang Dong-ran TV assessed the current situation, saying, "It seems like they are caught in a three-way squeeze right now." Criticism is also being raised that the professionalism of each military branch must first be a prerequisite for strengthening jointness.

This policy is raising concerns that it could lead to weakening national security and defense capabilities, and social controversy is spreading.

Former Minister Cho Kuk is intensifying his offensive against Lee Jae-myung, exposing power struggles within the party. Jang Dong-ran TV commented, "Look at Cho Kuk immediately attacking Lee Jae-myung as his approval rating drops. Everyone is like that, everyone."

This situation contrasts with the People Power Party's rise, leading to calls for unity among Democratic Party members. The internal conflict within the Democratic Party is expected to negatively impact general election strategies.
