South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s approval rating fell below 50 percent for the first time, as voters express doubts over his policies to curb home prices and boost job opportunities.
A weekly Gallup Korea survey released Friday showed support for Moon fell 4 percentage points to 49 percent, the lowest mark since he took power in May of last year. His disapproval rating rose to 42 percent -- the highest level since he took office -- compared with 38 percent last week.
