President Park Geun-hye's job approval rating has rebounded to the 40 percent range for the first time in three months, a new poll showed Friday.
A poll conducted by polling agency Gallup Korea put Park's approval rating at 40 percent, the highest since the first week of January, when it stood at 40 percent.
Park's job approval rating hit an all-time low of 29 percent in late January and early February.
About a quarter of those who gave a positive assessment of Park approved of the way she has been handling diplomatic and international affairs, while 17 percent praised her for her hard work and efforts, Gallup said.
Park attended the funeral ceremony of Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore in late March. It marked the first time for Park to attend a funeral of an overseas political leader since taking office in 2013.
Fifty-two percent of people disapproved of Park's job performance while eight percent had no opinion, according to Gallup Korea.
The survey was conducted on 1,011 adults between Tuesday and Thursday and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. (Yonhap)
