Poll shows 70% of South Koreans expect new president to perform well
The latest opinion poll shows that 70 percent of South Koreans expect the country's new President Lee Jae-myung to perform well during his five-year term. Gallup Korea has released the results of its first poll about Lee, who took office on June 4. The survey of 1,000 people was conducted from Tuesday through Thursday. When asked how Lee will execute his presidential duties during his term, seven out of ten respondents said that they expect him to perform well, while 24 percent said the opposite. When a similar poll was conducted about former President Yoon Suk-yeol, 60 percent of the respondents said that they had high expectations of him. But Lee's figure was lower than those of other former presidents. Moon Jae-in scored 87 percent in his poll, while both Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak received 79 percent in their surveys. Lee did not have a transition period before he was sworn in, as former President Yoon Suk-yeol had been removed from office. Lee has not yet filled all of his Cabinet posts. Observers are waiting to see whom Lee will pick for ministerial positions, and how he and his administration members will perform their duties.
