On the 26th, Asia Economy commissioned Win-G Korea Consulting to conduct a public opinion survey from the 23rd to 24th targeting 1,024 voters nationwide aged 18 and older (100% mobile phone virtual numbers, automated response).

In this survey, 78.1% of Democratic Party supporters responded that they support Lee, while 67.4% of People Power Party supporters backed Won.

Among respondents with no party affiliation or who were unsure, support was evenly split between the two candidates: Lee at 32.6% and Won at 32.3%.

The response rate for this survey was 6.6%, and the sample was extracted based on weighted values by gender, age, and region according to the resident registration population data from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety as of the end of January.
