Sixty-point-seven percent of the respondents were dissatisfied with the president, rising zero-point-six percentage points over the same period.

Yoon’s approval rating has declined for five consecutive weeks since hitting 41-point-nine percent in the fourth week of February. 

The survey, commissioned by the Economy Business Newspaper, has a confidence level of 95 percent with a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.

It marks the first time in about two months that the DP is ahead of the PPP outside the margin of error, which is plus-or-minus three-point-one percentage points. 

The survey, conducted on one-thousand-four adults on Thursday and Friday, has a confidence level of 95 percent.
