Asia Economy commissioned Realmeter to conduct a public opinion survey from the 27th to 28th targeting 1,010 men and women aged 18 and older residing in Gyeonggi Province (90% mobile, 10% landline, automated response). The results showed that 51.7% of respondents had a positive view of President-elect Yoon's national administration performance, while 44.6% expressed a negative view.

Among those who responded positively, 39.1% said he would perform "very well," and 12.6% said "somewhat well." Among those who responded negatively, 11.4% said he would "not perform very well," and 33.2% said he would "not perform well at all." Those who answered "don't know" accounted for 3.7%.

The public opinion landscape is polarized. Accordingly, centrist respondents who chose "somewhat well" and "not perform very well" accounted for only 24.0%. Following a closely contested presidential election and with local elections on the horizon, as well as the handling of the "complete removal of prosecution investigation rights" (Geomsu Wanbak) law, the political landscape is becoming confrontational, which appears to have influenced public opinion.

Public opinion also varied by generation. Regarding President-elect Yoon's national administration performance, positive opinions ("very well" + "somewhat well") were high among those in their 30s and those aged 60 and above, at 53.7% and 72.7%, respectively. In contrast, positive opinions were lower among those in their 20s (including ages 18 and 19), 40s, and 50s, at 41.3%, 39.3%, and 45.0%, respectively, with negative opinions being higher.

▶ How the survey was conducted = This survey was commissioned by Asia Economy and conducted by Realmeter over two days, the 27th and 28th, attempting to contact 57,108 eligible voters aged 18 and older residing in Gyeonggi Province.

The survey was conducted using an automated response method with 90% mobile and 10% landline calls, employing a random digit dialing sampling frame.
