The prospect of winning over the opposition in the Seoul and Busan mayoral elections in April and the presidential election in March next year came to light on Day 1. Particularly in the middle class, this opinion was empowering. Disciplinary action against Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, rising property prices, legislative independence, failure to quarantine the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and obtaining latent vaccines appear to have acted as negative factors.
Ipsos, a research specialist, asked SBS from December 28-30, targeting 1,001 men and women aged 18 and over across the country, asking “how to predict the outcome of the by-elections” and, as a result, ‘ the opposition will win ‘39.2% of the respondents predicted that it was outside the margin of error (the sampling error was ± 3.1% points at the 95% confidence level). On the other hand, 24.3% of those polled predicted the victory of the ruling party, and 21% said they will each occupy one place.
In particular, among respondents who classified their political orientation as ‘moderate’, 44.5% of respondents answered ‘opposition victory’, which was 25.6 percentage points ahead of the ruling party’s victory (18, 9%). Regarding the meaning of this choice, 51.5% of those surveyed said that it was a ‘mid-term evaluation of the current government’, higher than ‘the choice of the right person for the local administration’ (44.9 %).
“No expectation of regime change” middle class, 19% higher
Regarding the results of the presidential elections next year, 49.5% of the opinions appeared that ‘it is desirable to change the government to the opposition party’, before the ‘creation of the ruling party’ (42.8% ). As in the by-elections, among those surveyed with a moderate tendency, opinions that expected a ‘regime change’ (54.5%) were 19.3 percentage points higher.
Among the people named as candidates, ‘TOP 3’, including Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung (23.6%), Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol (18.5%) and Democratic Party representative Lee Nak- yeon (16.7%), fought fiercely within the margin of error.
