In a hypothetical one-on-one matchup, Jeong, a member of the Democratic Party, secured 47.5% of the votes, while Oh, representing the People Power Party, received 33.3%, giving Jeong a substantial 14.2-point lead. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/02\/CP-2023-0083\/image-3a94454b-e379-4495-b655-48270024f01a.jpeg\" alt=\"&nbsp;Yonhap News Agency\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;Yonhap News Agency<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> This widens the gap compared to the previous survey conducted on January 24-25, where Jeong had 50.5% and Oh had 40.3%, a difference of 10.2 percentage points. <\/p>\n<p> In the latest poll, a multi-candidate scenario showed Jeong leading with 28.4%, followed by Oh at 20.2%. Other contenders included Na Kyung-won from the People Power Party at 13.9%, Park Joo-min from the Democratic Party at 9.3%, former People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon at 6.7%, Democratic Party member Seo Young-kyo at 5.1%, and Democratic Party member Jeon Hyun-hee at 3.0%. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/02\/CP-2023-0083\/image-ed910d2d-ebc7-42e0-8104-521ee704ea1c.jpeg\" alt=\"&nbsp;Yonhap News Agency\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;Yonhap News Agency<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> Regionally, Jeong led in most areas. However, in the traditionally conservative fourth district (comprising Seocho, Gangnam, Songpa, and Gangdong), the race was neck-and-neck with Jeong at 25.4% and Oh at 25.3%. <\/p>\n<p> Party support figures showed the Democratic Party leading with 48.1%, compared to the People Power Party&#8217;s 31.6%, giving the Democrats a 16.5-point advantage. Smaller parties like the Justice Innovation Party, Progressive Party, and Reform Party received 2.0%, 0.9%, and 2.8% respectively. <\/p>\n<p> When asked about their perspective on the upcoming June local elections, 49.5% of respondents believed in empowering the ruling party to support national governance, while 39.2% favored empowering the opposition to check the government. This indicates a 10.3-point lead for the governance support argument. <\/p>\n<p> This survey employed an Automated Response System (ARS) polling method, using 100% mobile phone virtual numbers with random sampling proportional to gender, age group, and region. The sample size was 806 (out of 14,183 total call attempts, with a 5.7% response rate). The margin of error is \u00b13.5 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.
