A survey result released on the 25th showed that Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea presidential primary candidate, is maintaining a lead outside the margin of error in preference for future political leaders.
According to a survey conducted by Korean Gallup from the 22nd to the 24th among 1,005 voters aged 18 and older nationwide (with a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points), Democratic Party of Korea's Lee Jae-myung was recorded at 38%. The preferences for candidates from the People Power Party and Han Duck-soo, the acting prime minister whose candidacy is being mentioned, showed a difference within the margin of error.
Presidential primary candidate Han Dong-hoon got 8%, Hong Joon-pyo received 7%, while acting Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and candidate Kim Moon-soo both received 6%. Preliminary candidate Lee Jun-seok from the Reform Party and candidate Ahn Cheol-soo from the People Power Party each garnered 2%. Former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon, former Rebuilding Korea Party leader Cho Kuk, and Democratic Party of Korea candidate Kim Dong-yeon each registered at 1%. 23% did not choose a specific candidate.
The support rate for candidate Lee Jae-myung remained the same as last week's record, which was the highest. Gallup noted, "The preference for candidate Lee Jae-myung fluctuated in the low 20% range from January to July 2024, in the mid to high 20% range from September to early December, and has exceeded 30% since mid-December until now."
Among Democratic Party of Korea supporters, candidate Lee's support rate was 82%. In the People Power Party's support base, candidate Han got 21%, candidate Hong got 19%, acting Prime Minister Han and candidate Kim both got 17%, and candidate Ahn received 1%.
