Support rates for ruling party and Democratic Party are in a ”close race” - South Korean opinion poll

The results of a public opinion poll announced on the 24th showed that the approval rating of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea (Democratic Party), exceeded that of the ruling party, the People Power Party.
The Korean polling organization "Gallup Korea" conducted a survey of 1,000 men and women aged 18 and over from the 21st to the 23rd of this month.
According to a survey of party approval ratings conducted in the fourth week of January, the Democratic Party was at 40% and the ruling party at 38%. In the previous survey (third week of January), the ruling party was at 39% and the Democratic Party at 36%, but this time the ruling party was at 10%.
The Democratic Party's approval rating fell by 1.2 percentage points, while the Democratic Party's approval rating rose by 4 percentage points.
"The LDP's support for the Democratic Party of Japan reached a new record high, widening the gap with the ruling party, but since the start of this month, the gap has narrowed and the two parties are now in a dead heat."
According to a survey by Gallup Korea, in the first week of December last year, the Democratic Party recorded 37% support and the ruling party 27% support.
However, the subsequent "impeachment political situation" led to a continued trend of "the Democratic Party rising and the ruling party falling," and by the third week of December the gap had widened to 48% for the Democratic Party and 24% for the ruling party.
However, in the second week of January this year, the gap narrowed to 36% for the Democratic Party and 34% for the ruling party, and in the previous survey (third week of January), the approval rating of the ruling party was 34% higher than that of the Democratic Party.
It surpassed the odds and "reversed" the trend.
