[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] A public opinion poll showed that Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, is leading Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, by a margin outside the margin of error.
On the 20th, Realmeter conducted a 'Next Presidential Candidate Support Rate' survey commissioned by OhmyNews from the 13th to the 18th. Candidate Yoon received 42.9%, while Candidate Lee received 38.7%. Compared to last week's survey (6th to 11th), Candidate Yoon's support rose by 1.3 percentage points, and Candidate Lee's support fell by 0.4 percentage points.
The gap in support rates between the two candidates increased by 1.7 percentage points from last week's 2.5 percentage points to 4.2 percentage points, which is a lead outside the margin of error.
Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Party, had a support rate of 8.3%, up 0.6 percentage points from last week's 7.7%. Shim Sang-jung, the presidential candidate of the Justice Party, also increased by 0.4 percentage points to 3.2% from last week's 2.8%.
Other candidates accounted for 1.8%, and undecided voters (none + don't know/no response) were 5.0%.
The question about the 'likelihood of winning the presidential election,' regardless of preferred candidate, showed a similar pattern. Candidate Yoon rose from 48.8% to 49.4%, Candidate Lee fell from 42.6% to 41.3%, and Candidate Ahn increased from 2.3% to 3.0%.
