Lee Jae-myung's positive assessment for state affairs recorded its lowest ever in public opinion polls, at 36.3%. This is the lowest figure among all public opinion poll results to date.
A 'golden cross' phenomenon occurred, with the People Power Party's approval rating surpassing that of the Democratic Party. According to Fair Public Opinion Data, the People Power Party recorded 41.7% and the Democratic Party recorded 38.8%, indicating the People Power Party has overtaken the Democratic Party.
Spokesperson Jung Kyung-wook expressed skepticism about Lee Jae-myung's 36.3% positive assessment figure. He mentioned that it made him wonder if 36.3% was a typo for 3.63%, emphasizing the severe youth exodus and livelihood crisis under the current administration. This reflects the perception that Lee Jae-myung's approval rating does not accurately reflect reality.
Negative assessments of Lee Jae-myung among young people in their 20s and 30s have reached a serious level. In their 20s, negative assessments reached 71.4%, and in their 30s, they recorded 73.5%. This shows that young people have a strong aversion to Lee Jae-myung's state affairs management, and some criticize that their public sentiment has irreversibly turned.
Lee Jae-myung's personal judicial risks are being cited as the main reason for the Democratic Party's decline in approval ratings. Witness K analyzed that these judicial risks involved a case with a ruling of guilt on remand that could even revoke his eligibility to run for office, and the anxiety about gaining power before the trial results were out influenced the drop in approval ratings.
Rep. Jung Chung-rae sparked controversy by posting 140 photos of volunteer work at a flood recovery site in Geoje. Witness K pointed out that Jung was seen eating with clean boots, criticizing it as a promotional act akin to a show.
The exodus of support from those in their 40s is attributed to real estate loan regulations and disappointment with the current administration's policies. Witness K explained that 40-something voters began to feel 'hyun-ta' (a disillusionment) as loans, which were previously possible, were suddenly blocked. It is pointed out that housing policies focused on subscriptions and rentals, combined with the real-life experiences of 40-something supporters who had progressive identities, fueled discontent.
According to a survey conducted by 'Gongjeong', a professional opinion poll agency, from August 23-24, the People Power Party's approval rating was 41.7% and the Democratic Party's was 38.8%, with the People Power Party surpassing the Democratic Party. Spokesperson Jung Kyung-wook criticized the existing media's tendency to attribute the decline in approval ratings to the Democratic Party's leadership, interpreting this result as a spread of the argument for government accountability. This 'golden cross' is being seen as a significant indicator of a shifting public opinion.
Former director Yoo Si-min strongly criticized Lee Jae-myung as 'a very arrogant power figure,' labeling 'Myung-pick nominations as a party gone awry.' This remark caused a significant stir within the Democratic Party camp, eliciting bubbling reactions. Some analysis suggests that Yoo Si-min has begun to distance himself psychologically from the Democratic Party, bringing internal party conflicts to the surface.
The background to former director Yoo Si-min calling the Democratic Party, the party he belongs to, 'a party gone awry,' is interpreted as having complex internal dynamics. The cast members analyzed that Yoo Si-min considers himself not belonging to that party. Specifically, the power structure within the camp, following Moon Jae-in, Cho Kuk, and Lee Jae-myung, and the judgment that the Democratic Party under the Lee Jae-myung system would not move according to Yoo Si-min's wishes, seem to have led to these remarks.
Skepticism about Kim Min-seok, the party leader of the Democratic Party, has emerged since the party convention. There are criticisms that the Democratic Party appears weaker since the inauguration of Kim Min-seok's leadership, with a significant drop of 21% in approval ratings in Honam being specifically mentioned as a problem. Along with this, there is an analysis that movements to check figures like Kim Eo-jun and power struggles are occurring both within and outside the party.
A photo of Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok attending a People Power Party event became controversial, exposing the Democratic Party's political burdens regarding reelection and constitutional amendment. The cast interpreted that Jang Dong-hyuk, the People Power Party leader, intentionally staged this photo, criticizing the Democratic Party with, 'Is it that hard to say, 'No reelection. I will face trial.'?' This, coupled with Lee Jae-myung's judicial risks, further highlighted the Democratic Party's leadership crisis. It is pointed out that the opposition's moves toward reelection and constitutional amendment could be perceived negatively by the public. Kim Min-seok's actions are analyzed to have been used as a weakness of the opposition, as intended by Jang Dong-hyuk.
Minister Ahn Gyu-baek's remark about amending military records has amplified suspicions regarding Lee Jae-myung's military service. Spokesperson Jung Kyung-wook mentioned that Lee Jae-myung intends to correct his military-related records once he leaves public office and requested that the currently listed records be disclosed. However, Lee Jae-myung's side continues to respond opaquely to requests for record disclosure, so the suspicions remain unresolved.
Controversy has arisen regarding Lee Jae-myung's diplomatic capabilities. Spokesperson Jung Kyung-wook strongly criticized Lee Jae-myung for conducting 'diplomacy that passes America, mocks North Korea, and ignores China.' This has led to controversy, calling him a 'troublemaker' rather than a 'pacemaker,' and is pointed out as causing a decline in national prestige. Particularly, with suspicions of diplomatic dismissal related to trade issues, doubts about Lee Jae-myung's diplomatic competence are growing. Concerns are raised that such diplomatic mismanagement could weaken South Korea's standing in the international community. It is argued that Lee Jae-myung's attitude in establishing relations with powerful neighboring countries is problematic.
Lee Jae-myung's refusal of former U.S. President Trump's meeting proposal with 'No thanks' has escalated into a diplomatic rudeness controversy. Spokesperson Jung Kyung-wook argued that Lee Jae-myung's attitude 'rudely humiliated President Trump.' The analysis suggests that former President Trump's expression of dissatisfaction and mentioning the incident to the media shows that Lee Jae-myung's diplomatic rudeness indeed had a negative impact on international relations. Such diplomatic behavior raises concerns about damage to national prestige and potential negative effects on future bilateral relations.
The 'golden cross' phenomenon in the People Power Party's approval rating is interpreted as evidence of the government's commitment to reform. Witness K emphasized that the efforts made so far are starting to be proven by numbers, and the prediction that steadfast perseverance would lead to good results has been confirmed by today's golden cross. This serves as an opportunity to strongly advocate for the need for government accountability, along with the consolidation of conservative forces. Through these changes in approval ratings, the government has expressed confidence that its reform policies are gaining national support. The stance is that the golden cross is not merely a temporary phenomenon but a result reflecting the public's demand for change.
