SEOUL, Sept. 11 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since he took office, a poll showed Friday, amid growing criticism over his recent Cabinet reshuffle.
In a Gallup Korea survey of 1,000 people aged 18 and older conducted from Tuesday through Thursday, 38 percent positively assessed Lee's handling of state affairs, down 2 percentage points from the previous week, while 51 percent gave a negative assessment.
The approval rating marked the lowest level in a Gallup poll since Lee took office in June last year.

Among those who negatively assessed Lee's performance, 24 percent cited his real estate policies, followed by personnel appointments at 16 percent and economic and livelihood issues at 10 percent.
The pollster said the increase in respondents citing personnel appointments appears to reflect the controversy surrounding Lee's Cabinet picks ahead of their confirmation hearings.
On Lee's nomination of Rep. Kim Seung-won as justice minister, 43 percent said the nominee was unfit to serve the post, compared with 22 percent who considered him fit for the job.
For Rep. Yong Hye-in of the minor Basic Income Party, who has been tapped as the new minister of gender equality, 61 percent gave a negative response, while 13 percent said she was fit for the position.
Kim has faced allegations that he illegally lobbied authorities over the approval of a COVID-19 treatment in 2021, while Yong has come under fire over her decision to retain her proportional representation seat in the National Assembly following her appointment, along with alleged nepotism and the way she has run her one-lawmaker party solely on government funding.
Support for the ruling Democratic Party remained unchanged from the previous week at 38 percent, while that of the main opposition People Power Party fell 1 percentage point to 29 percent.
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points at a 95 percent confidence level.

首尔，9月11日（韩联社）——周五公布的一项民意调查显示，由于近期对内阁的改组引发越来越多的批评，李在明总统的支持率已跌至上任以来的最低水平。
盖洛普韩国周二至周四对1000名18岁及以上人士进行的调查显示，38%的人对李明博处理国家事务给予了积极评价，比前一周下降了2个百分点，而51%的人给予了负面评价。

在对李光耀的政绩做出负面评价的人中，24%的人提到了他的房地产政策，其次是人事任命（16%）和经济民生问题（10%）。
民调机构表示，提及人事任命的受访者人数增加，似乎反映了李光耀内阁人选在确认听证会之前引发的争议。
对于李明博提名金承元议员担任法务部长官一事，43%的人认为该提名人不适合担任此职，而22%的人认为他适合这份工作。
对于被任命为新任性别平等部长的来自小党基本收入党的议员杨惠仁，61%的人表示反对，而13%的人表示她适合这个职位。
金某曾被指控在 2021 年非法游说当局批准新冠肺炎治疗方案，而杨某则因在被任命后决定保留其在国会的比例代表席位而受到抨击，此外还被指控任人唯亲，以及她完全依靠政府资金运营其仅有一名议员的政党。
执政的民主党支持率与前一周持平，为 38%，而主要反对党人民力量党的支持率下降 1 个百分点，至 29%。
本次民意调查的误差幅度为正负 3.1 个百分点，置信水平为 95%。
