As a positive evaluation factor, foreign policy, such as strengthening the ROK-U.S. alliance, was ranked first.
Then, let's take a look at the trend of approval ratings shown in the SBS poll on May 10, six months after the inauguration of President Yoon.
In the first month of his inauguration, the approval rating recorded 49% on expectations for the new government, including the opening of the Blue House and a visit to Honam.
But in July, it drops to 36.3%.
The difficulties in the appointment of the first cabinet and the presidential office were adversely affected by the disciplinary action of former People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok.
In August, as the government's response to record-breaking heavy rains came to the fore, it fell to the 20% range, and it remained at the low 30% level just before Chuseok as economic difficulties such as the global economic crisis and rising prices continued.
