Meanwhile, 34-point-two percent said he is doing poorly, while seven-point-two percent were unsure. 

Public support for the ruling Democratic Party rose to 49-point-nine percent, widening its lead over the main opposition People Power Party, whose approval rating fell to 30-point-four percent.

The Reform Party received four-point-five percent, followed by the Rebuilding Korea Party with two-point-nine percent and the Jinbo Party with one-point-seven percent.
