A recent survey by Hankook Research reveals a public sentiment leaning against the parliamentary bids of Cho Kuk, leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, and former People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon. The poll, conducted from April 21-23 among 1,001 adults nationwide, indicates that negative views outweigh positive ones for both politicians' candidacies.

Specifically, Cho Kuk's run in the Pyeongtaek-eul constituency faces 38% disapproval compared to 28% approval. For Han Dong-hoon's bid in Busan Buk-gu갑, a significant 49% expressed disapproval, more than double the 23% who approved. These findings suggest a public wary of these prominent figures entering the legislative race.

The survey also highlights the current political landscape, with the Democratic Party leading at 48% support, while the People Power Party trails at 20%. Minor parties like the Cho Kuk Innovation Party and the New Reform Party each garnered 2% support. This data provides a snapshot of voter preferences as the political climate intensifies.

The negative response was higher.
