According to a Gallup Korea poll conducted from April 22 to 24, 2025, targeting 1,005 adults aged 18 or older through mobile phone interviews (with a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level and a response rate of 16.5%), Lee ranked first in the open-ended "future presidential prospects" survey with 38%. This figure is the same as last week's Gallup Korea survey. Among Democratic Party supporters, Lee received 82% support.

Following him, Han Dong Hoon, the People Power Party's prospective presidential candidate, was at 8%, Hong Joon Pyo, former mayor of Daegu, at 7%, and Kim Moon Soo, former Minister of Employment and Labor, at 6%. Han Duck Soo, acting president and prime minister, who is rumored to be running, also recorded a support rate of 6%. Although these results are within the margin of error, this is the first time this year that Han Dong Hoon has recorded the highest support among People Power Party candidates.

Focusing on People Power Party supporters, Han Dong Hoon received 22%, Hong Joon Pyo 19%, Kim Moon Soo 18%, and Han Duck Soo 16%. Gallup Korea explained, "Han Duck Soo was first mentioned with a 2% favorability rating two weeks ago, and his presence increased to 7% last week, but he still does not show a clear distinguishing characteristic."

Regarding party support, the Democratic Party recorded 42%, the People Power Party 34%, and non-affiliated voters 16%. When asked which party's candidate they would prefer to see as the next president in relation to the presidential election, 44% chose the Democratic Party and 32% chose the People Power Party. By age group, the Democratic Party was stronger among those in their 40s and 50s, while the People Power Party was stronger among those aged 70 and older. Among those in their 20s and 30s, there was a relatively high proportion of "other candidates" or "undecided" responses.
