South Korea's largest opposition party 'leaves' ruling party in approval rating

The results of a public opinion poll in South Korea were announced on the 28th, showing that the largest opposition party has pulled away from the ruling party in terms of approval rating. The poll was conducted by the South Korean polling organization Gallup Korea from the 25th to the 27th of this month, and was conducted on 18-year-olds and older.
According to a survey of party support rates conducted among 1,000 men and women in the fourth week of March, the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPJ) received 41% support, while the ruling People Power Party received 33%.
The approval ratings for the Democratic Party and the ruling party announced by Gallup Korea on this day showed the largest difference since the survey conducted in the third week of December last year (Democratic Party 48% vs. ruling party 24%).
The figures are open. The Democratic Party had maintained 40% support in three consecutive surveys since the first week of March, while the ruling party had recorded 36% support in four consecutive surveys since the fourth week of February, but this time the trend has changed.
This time, the Democratic Party rose by 1 percentage point from the previous survey, while the ruling party fell by 3 percentage points. This was followed by the Fatherland Reform Party (2%), the New Reform Party (2%), and the Progressive Party (1%), and the number of independents was 1.
In addition, in a survey about the impeachment of President Yoon, 60% answered "in favor" and 34% answered "against."
Those who "support" the plan increased by 2 percentage points from the previous survey, while those who "oppose" the plan increased by 2 percentage points.
Meanwhile, in a survey about the next presidential election, 53% of respondents said, "To bring about a change of government, the opposition candidate should win," and 46% said, "To maintain the current administration, the ruling party candidate should win."
The total number of people who chose "a change of government" was 34%. The number of people who chose "maintaining the government" was down 5% from the previous survey.
The most suitable person to become a future president was Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, with 34 percent, followed by Kim Moon-soo.
(Kim Moon-soo) Minister of Employment and Labor was tallied at 8%. Representative Lee's approval rating fell 2 percentage points from the previous survey, while Minister Kim's approval rating fell 1 percentage point.
Next came former ruling party leader Han Dong-hoon with 5%, Seoul Mayor Oh Sehun and Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo.
The mayor received 3% each, and so on.
