SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating came to 36.9 percent last week, a poll showed Monday, rising slightly from a week earlier on the back of diplomatic achievements and economic policies but remaining below 40 percent for the 10th consecutive week.

In the poll conducted on 2,515 adults nationwide from last Monday to Friday by Realmeter, positive assessments of Lee's job performance rose 1.6 percentage points from the previous week.

His disapproval rating fell 2.2 percentage points to 60.1 percent in the latest survey.

Realmeter said the increase appears to have been driven by diplomatic achievements from the recent South Korea-Germany summit and positive economic indicators, including a current account surplus and the government's plans to expand the housing supply in the greater Seoul area.

Lee's approval rating has stayed below 40 percent in Realmeter surveys since slipping to 38.9 percent from 40.2 percent in the fourth week of August.

In a separate survey of 1,005 adults conducted Thursday and Friday, support for the ruling Democratic Party rose 2.3 percentage points to 38.3 percent, while that of the main opposition People Power Party fell 2.4 percentage points to 40.2 percent.

The survey on the president had a margin of error of 2 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level, while the one on political parties had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.

Both polls were commissioned by the Asia Business Daily.

首尔，11月2日（韩联社）——周一公布的一项民调显示，李在明总统的支持率上周为36.9%，较前一周略有上升，这得益于外交成就和经济政策，但连续第十周低于40%。

Realmeter 从上周一到周五对全国 2515 名成年人进行的民意调查显示，对李将军工作表现的正面评价比前一周上升了 1.6 个百分点。

在最新的调查中，他的反对率下降了2.2个百分点，至60.1%。

Realmeter表示，此次上涨似乎是由近期韩德峰会取得的外交成果以及积极的经济指标所推动的，这些指标包括经常账户盈余和政府计划扩大首尔都市圈的住房供应。

自 8 月第四周从 40.2% 下滑至 38.9% 以来，李光耀在 Realmeter 民调中的支持率一直低于 40%。

在周四和周五对 1005 名成年人进行的另一项调查中，执政的民主党的支持率上升了 2.3 个百分点，达到 38.3%，而主要反对党人民力量党的支持率下降了 2.4 个百分点，至 40.2%。

对总统的调查误差幅度为 2 个百分点，置信水平为 95%；而对政党的调查误差幅度为 3.1 个百分点，置信水平为 95%。

这两项民意调查均由《亚洲商业日报》委托进行。
