``Next president'' favorability survey reveals ``very close race'' among leaders of ruling and opposition parties = South Korea

According to the ``Future Political Leader Favorability Survey'' released in South Korea on the 12th asking ``Who is suitable to be the next president?''
Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the emergency response committee of the People's Power party, was in a ``very close race'' for the top spot. Korean public opinion research organization “Korea Gallup” recorded 100 voters from 9th to 11th of this month.
As a result of the ``Future Political Leader Liability Survey'' conducted on two people, Chairman Lee's rating rose 4% from the previous survey (first week of December last year) to 23%, while Chairman Han's rating rose 6%. It was 22%.
Next was Lee Nak-yeon, former Democratic Party representative, Hong Jun-pyo, mayor of Daegu, and Lee Jun-seok, chairman of the Reform New Party's political platform and policy committee, each with 3%.
, ruling party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, Seoul Mayor Oh Sehun, and Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon were each counted at 1%.
Gallup Korea explained that the rise in favorability ratings for Lee and Chairman Han was ``mainly due to changes in the supporters of their political parties and the same demographic.''
On the other hand, President Yoon Seo-gyul's approval rating rose 2 percentage points from the previous survey (second week of December) to 33%, while disapproval dropped 3 percentage points to 59%.
The party support rate was 36% for the ruling party, 34% for both Democrats, and 25% for independents.
