<Anchor> In the



new year, SBS looked into public sentiment on major issues such as the by-election, presidential election, and corona response.

First of all, I heard opinions about the by-election in April and the presidential election coming next year. In the by-election, there were more opinions that they expect the opposition to win, and in the presidential election, they expect the opposition to win.

When asked how to predict the results of the Seoul Mayor and Busan Mayor's by-election in April of this year, 39.2% of the opposition champions were expected to win, and 24.3% of the respondents expected the ruling party to win.



21% of respondents answered that it was a draw between the opposition parties in Seoul and Busan.



Regarding the significance of this election, 51.5% of the median evaluation of the current government and 44.9% of the respondents were 6.6%p higher in terms of elections to select the right people for regional administration and development.



I asked what they thought would be desirable for the results of the next presidential election.



With 49.5% of the opposition party replacing the regime and 42.8% of the ruling party's re-creation of the regime, opinions on the expectation of a regime change were slightly higher with a difference of 6.7%p.



I asked who supported the people who were being run for president next year.



Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong 23.6%, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol 18.5%, and Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon 16.7%.



This was followed by Hong Joon-pyo 4.1%, Yoo Seung-min 4.0%, Oh Se-hoon 3.2%, Shim Sang-jung 2.3%, Jeong Sye-gyun 1.5%, Chu Miae 1.2%, Won Hee-ryong 0.8%.



23.2% said there was no candidate for support or that they did not know.



Among the respondents expecting a regime re-creation, Lee Jae-myeong 37.7% and Lee Nak-yeon 34.6% were similar. Among the respondents expecting a regime change, 34.3% supported President Yoon Suk-yeol.



This survey was commissioned by SBS to Ipsos, a polling agency, and through wired/wireless telephone interviews from the 28th to 30th of last month, 1,001 people aged 18 and over nationwide received responses, with a sample error of ±3.1%p with a 95% confidence level. .
