Korea - presidential front-runner maintains strong lead, conservative rival gains ground: ARIRANG NEWS

Published on 30 Apr 2017
문재인 지지율 변함없어, 홍준표 안철수와 차이 오차범위 내로 좁혀So,... with just over a week to go until election day,.. let's take a look at the all-important poll ratings.

Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party of Korea is still way out in front of his closest rival,... Ahn Cheol-soo of the People's Party.

Conservative candidate Hong Joon-pyo of the Liberty Korea Party is a distant third,.. but he has seen his ratings surge in recent days.

Breaking down the numbers for us,... is our Lee Unshin. 

Presidential front-runner Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party now has double the support of his closest rival. 

A survey by Realmeter released Sunday in the run-up to the May 9 election... shows Moon with a little over 42 percent... while Ahn Cheol-soo of the People's Party has fallen to 20-point-9 percent.
The only conservative candidate in the double digits is Hong Joon-pyo of the Liberty Korea Party, who's climbed almost 4 percentage points to 16-point-7 percent. 

Hong's recent boost in support has shrunk the gap between Hong and Ahn to within the margin of error.

According to Realmeter,... Ahn's ratings peaked at around 38 percent back on April 10th... but his numbers have since gone downhill, widening Moon's lead and ceding ground to Hong.

The survey also shows Hong is the most popular candidate among voters in their 60s.

And as the leading candidate among voters who identify as right-leaning or conservative,... Hong is in second place after Moon in regions like Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, the nation's conservative strongholds.

Yoo Seong-min of the Bareun Party showed the lowest numbers among the five major-party candidates, at 5-point-2 percent,... while the Justice Party's Sim Sang-jung, stays where she's been -- in fourth... with 7-point-6 percent.
