[AKYUNG Poll] Over Half of Seoul Citizens Support Oh Se-hoon as the People Power Party Candidate

Poll on People Power Party Candidate Suitability
Oh Se-hoon Firmly Leads with 51.5%
Na Kyung-won 9.7%, Oh Shin-hwan 4.1%

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] More than half of Seoul citizens chose the current Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon as the People Power Party's candidate for the next Seoul mayor.

On the 6th, Asia Economy commissioned Realmeter to conduct a public opinion poll from April 4 to 5 targeting 1,015 men and women aged 18 or older residing in Seoul (90% mobile, 10% landline, automated response). When asked "Who is the most suitable candidate for the People Power Party's next Seoul mayor?", Mayor Oh received 51.5% support. Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who ran as a candidate in the party primary during the April 7 by-election, received 9.7%, and former lawmaker Oh Shin-hwan received 4.1%. Other candidates accounted for 3.7%, and undecided voters were 31% (no preference 25.5% + don't know 5.5%).

This appears to be due to Mayor Oh's victory in the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election and his leadership of Seoul's administration for one year, combined with the People Power Party's success in the presidential election, which maximized the effect.

Within the People Power Party's support base, Mayor Oh's support was even higher at 85.4%. Former lawmaker Na received 7.1%, and former lawmaker Oh received 1.4%, showing a concentration of support toward Mayor Oh.

Mayor Oh received relatively high support especially in the Gangnam eastern area (54.5%), among those aged 60 and over (63.5%), and males (55.4%). Among supporters of President-elect Yoon, 84.6% also supported Mayor Oh.

This survey was conducted by Realmeter on behalf of Asia Economy over two days, April 4 and 5, by attempting calls to 80,938 eligible voters aged 18 or older residing in Seoul, with a final 1,015 respondents completing the survey, resulting in a response rate of 1.3%. The survey used an automated response method with 90% mobile and 10% landline calls, employing random digit dialing based on a randomly generated sampling frame. Statistical adjustments were made using rim weighting by gender, age group, and region based on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's resident registration population statistics as of the end of March 2022. The sampling error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
