[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] In a hypothetical head-to-head match for the next presidential election, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol was found to be leading former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon within the margin of error.

On the 28th, Asia Economy commissioned Win-G Korea Consulting to conduct a public opinion poll from the 25th to 26th targeting 1,016 voters nationwide aged 18 and older (100% mobile phone virtual numbers, automated response). The results showed former Prosecutor General Yoon receiving 46.2%, ahead of former leader Lee with 41.4%, a lead of 4.8 percentage points within the margin of error.

In the same survey conducted three times previously, former Prosecutor General Yoon consistently led former leader Lee.

Compared to the previous survey (conducted on the 11th-12th), Yoon’s support rose slightly by 1 percentage point, and Lee’s by 0.6 percentage points.

Former Prosecutor General Yoon showed strength among men, those aged 50 and above, and in the Seoul, Yeongnam, and Gangwon regions, while former leader Lee was strong among those in their 30s and 40s and in the Honam region.

In the Daejeon and Chungcheong regions, former leader Lee (44.2%) and former Prosecutor General Yoon (43%) were in a close contest.

Meanwhile, in the head-to-head match, 84.1% of People Power Party supporters said they support former Prosecutor General Yoon, and 80.5% of Democratic Party supporters said they support former leader Lee.

Among the undecided voters, former leader Lee (38.1%) led former Prosecutor General Yoon (30.6%) by 7.5 percentage points.

This survey was conducted by Asia Economy through Win-G Korea Consulting targeting voters aged 18 and older nationwide from the 25th to 26th, with 1,016 respondents and an overall response rate of 8.4%. The survey method was wireless ARS with 100% mobile phone virtual numbers, and the sample was extracted using weighted values by gender, age, and region based on the resident registration population as of the end of January 2021 from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (cell weighting). The sampling error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
