SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea President Park Geun-hye's approval rating has fallen to 5 percent, according to a Gallup poll released on Friday, setting an all-time low for any South Korean president and underscoring the impact of the influence-peddling scandal.
Gallup said its survey of 1,005 South Koreans conducted between Nov. 1 to 3 showed that 89 percent of those who participated disapproved of her performance.
