Korea’s Opposition Party Faces 30% Favorability Gap with Ruling Party
The impeachment of former President Yoon continues to drag down the PPP’s favorability in Korea:
One year after former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s ouster over his botched martial law crisis, the People Power Party (PPP), to which he belonged, is facing its worst slump in years. A new poll shows the main opposition party trailing the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) by 30 percentage points — the widest gap between the two parties since 2018. (…..)
The nationwide survey by Gallup Korea released Friday and conducted on 1,001 adults from March 31 to April 2 shows the DPK’s approval rating at 48 percent while the PPP’s was at 18 percent.
The 30-percentage-point gap is the largest since November 2018 by-elections, when the Liberty Korea Party, the predecessor to the PPP at the time, lost four seats in the National Assembly in the aftermath of the 2017 impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, also a member of the conservative bloc. It is also the PPP’s lowest Gallup Korea result since November 2020.

Which party controls the media?
All these polls are fake
There’s quite a bit of division within the conservative party and among the conservative public sadly. This all really stemmed from Yoon’s impeachment. My beef with the PPP is that they’re too weak and has too many fake conservative members who are secretly liberals, as their actions or behaviors clearly indicate or resemble the Democratic Minjoo party. Not everyone there is aligned with the mission.
