<Anchor> With the



presidential election in March next year, 83 days away, SBS conducted a poll.

First, in the presidential candidate approval rating, Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung and People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol were close within the margin of error.



First of all, this is reporter Han Se-hyun.



<Reporter>



I asked who you would vote for in the next March presidential election.




Democratic Party Lee Jae-myung 35.4% and People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol 33.3%, the gap is 2.1 percentage points, within the margin of error.




It was followed by Shim Sang-jung of the Justice Party with 3.5% and Ahn Cheol-soo of the People's Party with 3.1%.




Comparing with the SBS poll at the end of last month, Candidate Lee rose by 2.7 percentage points and Candidate Yoon fell by 1.1 percentage points.




Candidate Shim fell 0.7 percentage points and candidate Ahn rose 0.3 percentage points.




When looking at the support groups of candidates Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol by age group, Lee received more support in their 30s and 40s, and Yoon in their 60s and older, respectively, and it was tight among those in their 50s and 20s.




By ideological disposition, the conservatives support candidate Yoon, and the progressives overwhelmingly support Lee, but there was a change in the middle class, which is evaluated as a casting vote.




In the SBS survey at the end of last month, Yoon Seok-yeol was 34.1% and Lee Jae-myung 28.3%.




By region, Candidate Lee received higher approval ratings in Honam, and Candidate Yoon received higher approval ratings in TK and Gangwon and Jeju.



The metropolitan area, Chungcheong, and PK are premarital.




When asked about the possibility of winning regardless of whether they voted or not, Lee Jae-myung 45.5% and Yoon Seok-yeol 43.8% were within the margin of error.




Looking at the supporters of Zone 3, I judged that the supporters of Shim Sang-jung are more likely to be elected Lee Jae-myung, and the supporters of Ahn Cheol-soo are more likely to be elected.




Regarding the possibility of unification of candidates, the highest rate was 57.5%, although unification was not likely to be easy due to differences in positions between candidates.
