On the 23rd, Realmeter announced that the results came from a survey conducted from the 16th to the 20th targeting 2,528 people nationwide aged 18 and older, evaluating President Yoon's performance since his inauguration. The difference between positive and negative evaluations was 11.5 percentage points.


Realmeter analyzed that factors such as the ruling party's attendance at the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement memorial ceremony and the rising atmosphere surrounding U.S. President Biden's visit to Korea contributed positively.


Regarding the outlook for President Yoon's future national administration performance, the positive expectation that he will "do well" rose by 3.1 percentage points compared to the weekly tally of the second week of May, reaching 54.3%. The negative expectation that he will "not do well" decreased by 3.2 percentage points to 41.0%.


Party support showed the People Power Party rising by 2.0 percentage points from the previous week to 50.1%. This is the first time since the Future United Party era in the third week of February 2020 that the People Power Party has surpassed 50% support in a Realmeter survey.


The Democratic Party of Korea rose by 0.8 percentage points to 38.6% during the same period, while the Justice Party fell by 1.6 percentage points to 2.7%.



The response rate for this survey was 5.1%, and the margin of error is ±1.9 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. For more details, refer to the Realmeter website or the Central Election Survey Deliberation Commission website.
