President Park Geun-hye's job approval rating has inched down after the floor leader of her party resigned, a poll showed Friday.
The poll released by polling agency Gallup Korea put Park's approval rating at 32 percent, down from the 34 percent a week earlier.
The poll showed that 59 percent said Park is doing her job poorly while 8 percent withheld evaluation.
Gallup attributed the fall to the recent political feud between Park and Saenuri floor leader Yoo Seong-min, who stepped down from his post Wednesday after accepting the party's recommendation.
"The poll showed that people pointed out Park's leadership for two weeks in a row. It is analyzed that negative public opinion was increased due to Park's veto of the revision to the parliament bill and the resignation of Saenuri floor leader Yoo Seong-min," the research firm said.
The survey was conducted on 1,004 adults between Tuesday and Thursday, and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
