SEOUL (Bloomberg): The support rate for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol (pic) rebounded to its highest mark in about five months after he took a tough line on striking truckers and increased his focus on undoing policies of his predecessor.
Yoon’s approval rating rose three percentage points to 36% in a weekly tracking poll released Friday (Dec 16) by Gallup Korea. Backing for his conservative People Power Party also topped that of the main opposition Democratic Party, which could help the president in parliament, where his progressive political foes hold a solid majority and may not want to see a further erosion in public support.
