In a question imagining the unification of opposition candidates, it was found that both People's Power Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol and People's Party Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo would outperform Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung outside the margin of error.

There were many answers that chose Lee Jae-myung within the margin of error as candidates who said they were good at TV debates. 



Next is reporter Hwa Gang-yun. 



<Reporter>  Yoon Seok-



yeol and Ahn Cheol-soo asked which candidate they would vote for if the two opposition candidates were unified. 



When candidate Yoon was a single candidate, Jae-myung Lee 31.6, Seok-yeol Yoon 41.6, and Sang-jeong Shim 3.3%.



In the case of unification as Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, Lee Jae-myung 25.3, Shim Sang-jung 2.7, and Ahn Cheol-soo 45.2%, respectively. 




It is a gap outside the margin of error, and it is interpreted that the relatively high support for the virtual unification candidate in Seoul and the middle class, which is considered to be the winner, was influenced by this candidate. 



However, about the possibility of unification, about two out of three predicted that it would be difficult due to differences in positions between candidates. 



Such skepticism increased by 7.9 percentage points compared to the survey conducted in the middle of last month. 



In the first TV debate last week, we were asked which candidate they thought did the best, followed by Lee Jae-myung, Yoon Seok-yeol, Ahn Cheol-soo, and Shim Sang-jeong. 



The answer that there were no good candidates accounted for 22.8%. 



Only 8.5% of those who saw the first TV debate thought of changing candidates. 



Nevertheless, when asked about variables that would affect the election for the rest of the period, 1 in 4 chose TV debates between candidates. 



The idea is to watch the rest of the TV debate and make the final selection of candidates. 



Suspicions about the candidate himself and his family, and whether each party's policies and pledges were made to unify the opposition candidates were followed by a similar weight. 



This survey was commissioned by Next Research by SBS and received responses from 1,04 voters nationwide on the 5th and 6th, and the sampling error is ±3.1% points at the 95% confidence level.
