The approval ratings of Democratic Party representative Lee Nak-yeon, who have been ranked as the top three in the next presidential candidate’s preference survey, declined significantly.

On the 15th, when Gallup Korea, a polling company specializing in polls, asked 1,000 people aged 18 and over nationwide on the 12th to 14th, who would like the political leader who will lead Korea, that is, the next presidential feeling, a respondent who answered that he was Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong. It was the most at 23%.

The Governor’s approval rating rose 3%p from a month ago, continuing its rise for the second month, recording its highest level in a Gallup survey.

Then, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol took second place with 13% as in the survey last month. Yoon’s general declined from 9% in August last year to 3% in September and October, then rebounded to 11% in November. Since then, they recorded 13% in December and January this year. 38% of the people supported the power of the people, and about 20% of those who were conservative and negatively evaluated the president cited him.

Representative Lee Nak-yeon managed to pull up to double digits by recording 10%, down 6%p from last month (16%).

In fact, in the Democratic Party’s support, Lee only gained 23%, while Governor Lee earned 43%, which was reversed by a large gap, unlike last month’s survey (Lee Nak-yeon 36%-Lee Jae-myeong 31%).
