Next Leader Poll... Lee Jae-myung 15% Oh Se-hoon 10%

Kim Dong-yeon and Han Dong-hoon Appear for the First Time... Both at 4% Support
Ahn Cheol-soo at 6%

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] For the first time, Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon and Governor-elect of Gyeonggi Province Kim Dong-yeon were included in Gallup's public opinion poll asking about the next presidential candidate. In the preference for the next presidential candidate, Rep. Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea, who lost by 0.7 percentage points in the last presidential election, and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who succeeded in his fourth term in the local elections, took first and second place respectively.

According to the Gallup poll released on the 10th (an interview survey of 1,000 adults aged 18 and over nationwide from the 6th to the 9th), Rep. Lee ranked first with 15%, Mayor Oh Se-hoon second with 10%, Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo of the People Power Party 6%, Daegu Mayor-elect Hong Joon-pyo 5%, Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon and Governor-elect Kim Dong-yeon each 4%, former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon 3%, and Rep. Lee Jun-seok of the People Power Party 1%.

This survey was conducted by asking respondents to freely name their preferred person rather than selecting from a list included in the questionnaire.

Among supporters of the People Power Party (455 respondents), Mayor Oh ranked first with 20%, followed by Rep. Ahn, Mayor-elect Hong, and Minister Han each at 9%, showing a dispersed pattern. Among Democratic Party supporters (288 respondents), Rep. Lee led with 41%, followed by Governor-elect Kim (6%) and former leader Lee (5%).

In this survey, Governor-elect Kim and Minister Han appeared for the first time as next leaders. Governor-elect Kim dramatically succeeded in a comeback in the local elections, while Minister Han has emerged as a next political leader since his appointment as minister, becoming the center of attention.

The margin of error for this Gallup poll is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. For more details, please refer to the Central Election Survey Deliberation Commission website.
