Lee Jae-myung’s Lead in Korean Presidential Election Narrows
If the conservatives want any chance at beating Lee they need to rally around Han Duck-soo and soon:
Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of South Korea’s main liberal Democratic Party, holds a lead in a potential three-way race for the country’s next election, but support for the conservative bloc shows signs of resurgence, shows a new poll released Monday.
The poll, conducted by Realmeter from April 30 to May 2, found Lee leading with 46.5 percent support in a hypothetical matchup against former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who is running as an independent, and Lee Jun-seok of the centrist Reform Party.
Han garnered 34.3 percent of support, and Lee Jun-seok trailed with 5.9 percent.
In a separate scenario replacing Han with Kim Moon-soo, the candidate of the main conservative People Power Party, Lee still led the field with 46.6 percent, with Kim at 27.8 and Lee Jun-seok at 7.5 percent.
Han and Kim are expected to begin negotiations soon to merge their candidacies in a bid to challenge the liberal frontrunner.

Lee cannot win. For the love of God, Lee will ruin the country. Han and Kim must merge to lead the big tent and WIN!
The Korean Election Commission is disallowing any foreign or domestic election observation. This is a screaming siren and five alarm fire. The 2104 Carter Center cites exclusion of election observation as a significant Red Flag on the trustworthiness of the election process.
