South Korean President Moon Jae-in's approval rating stayed at a high level on mounting peace mood in the Korean Peninsula, a weekly poll showed Thursday.

Support for Moon was 60.9 percent this week, according to the Realmeter survey. It was down 1 percentage point from the previous week.

The support scores made a natural correction, after peaking at 65.3 percent in the fourth week of September, or the week right after Moon's third summit in Pyongyang with Kim Jong Un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Moon and Kim re-confirmed their commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, agreeing to concrete ways to stop hostile acts in inter-Korean border areas.

Support for Moon's ruling Democratic Party fell 2.5 percentage points over the week to 42.3 percent this week.

The main conservative opposition Liberty Korea Party won 20 percent of support, followed by the minor progressive Justice Party gaining 9.8 percent in approval score.

The minor conservative Bareun Future Party and the centrist Party for Democracy and Peace garnered 6.6 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively.

The results were based on a poll of 1,502 voters from Monday to Wednesday. It had 2.5 percentage points in margin of error with a 95 percent confidence level.
