SEOUL (Bloomberg): South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s approval rating climbed to a three-month high as his tough stance on striking doctors gains support among voters frustrated with disruptions to the health-care system.
Yoon’s support level rose 1 percentage point to 34%, the highest since November, according to a weekly poll by Gallup Korea released Friday. This is a turnaround from just weeks ago, when his approval rating slid to a nine-month low after a video emerged that appears to show his wife receiving a designer bag.
