Former NIS Director Park Ji-won Tops 5 Public Opinion Polls Conducted Since Last Year

Haenam, Wando, Jindo Support Exceeds Combined Support of All Other Candidates

Park Ji-won: "Will Humbly Focus Only on the Residents of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo"

With 65 days remaining until the 22nd general election, former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won has ranked first in all five public opinion polls conducted from last September to recently in Haenam, Wando, and Jindo.

In the Haenam, Wando, and Jindo National Assembly member public opinion poll jointly announced by Yeosu MBC and Mokpo MBC on the 31st of last month, former Director Park recorded a candidate preference rate of 45%, which is 26% higher than the current district National Assembly member.

In particular, former Director Park's preference rate was higher than the combined preference rates of the other six candidates excluding himself, and he maintained an advantage across all age groups over 30. In the 50s age group, he was ahead by four times, and in the 60s to 70s and older age groups, he led the incumbent by more than three times.

Former Director Park Ji-won stated, "I am repeatedly grateful and will humbly focus solely on the residents of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo, working hard and doing my best," adding, "The overwhelming support in the five polls is a mandate from the local residents to make Haenam, Wando, and Jindo take a great leap forward and to fight more strongly against the Yoon Seok-yeol solo administration."

This public opinion poll was conducted by Mokpo MBC and Yeosu MBC, who commissioned Korea Research International on the 27th and 28th of last month. It targeted men and women aged 18 and older residing in Haenam, Wando, and Jindo, Jeollanam-do, using a wireless telephone interview method with virtual safe phone numbers for mobile phones. The response rate was 21.1%, and the sampling error was ±4.4 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. For more details, please refer to the Central Election Poll Deliberation Commission website.
