[AKyung Poll] Prosecutor Referral Allegation, 45.6% Say 'Yoon Seok-yeol Is Responsible'

Responsibility Debate High Among 3040 and Honam
37.3% Respond No Responsibility

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Regarding the prosecution's allegation of instigating complaints against ruling party figures in the last general election, 45.6% of the public opinion holds that "Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate, is responsible."

On the 9th, Asia Economy commissioned Win-Gi Korea Consulting to conduct a public opinion survey targeting 1,005 voters aged 18 and older nationwide from the 6th to 7th. The survey (100% mobile phone virtual numbers, automated response) asked, "Regarding the suspicion that the prosecution instigated complaints against ruling party figures to the People Power Party's predecessor, the United Future Party, there is a theory of responsibility for candidate Yoon, who was the Prosecutor General at the time. What do you think?" The results showed that 45.6% answered that he is responsible, 37.3% said he is not responsible, and 17.2% were unsure.

The responsibility theory was divided by generation and region. The response that Yoon is responsible was high among those in their 30s (58.1%) and 40s (60.4%), while the response that he is not responsible was higher among those aged 60 and above (53.8%).

By region, the responses indicating responsibility were higher in Gyeonggi and Incheon (51.0%) and the Honam area (75.8%). Among supporters of the Democratic Party of Korea, the rate was overwhelmingly high at 82.8%. Conversely, the response that he is not responsible was higher in Seoul (46.2%), Daegu·Gyeongbuk (50.3%), and among supporters of the People Power Party (63.2%).

This survey was conducted by Asia Economy through Win-Gi Korea Consulting targeting voters aged 18 and older nationwide from the 6th to 7th, with 1,005 respondents and an overall response rate of 6.7%. 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.
