On the 28th, a poll conducted by Realmeter at the request of the Energy Economy Newspaper from the 26th to the 27th surveyed 1,003 voters aged 18 and over nationwide.

This survey result is the last public opinion poll conducted just before the so-called 'dark period' during which the announcement of opinion polls is prohibited.

Compared to the previous survey (22nd to 23rd), Lee Jae-myung's support rate increased by 2.6 percentage points (p). Kim Moon-soo's support rate decreased by 0.8p, and Lee Jun-seok's support rate decreased by 0.1p.

Assuming a virtual two-way race, Lee Jae-myung's support rate is 52.3%, and Kim Moon-soo's is 41.7%, showing a gap of 10.6p. If Lee Jae-myung and Lee Jun-seok faced off, Lee Jae-myung's support rate would be 50.6%, while Lee Jun-seok would be at 36.7%, with a gap of 13.9p.

This survey was conducted using a wireless (100%) automated response method. The margin of error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level, and the response rate is 10.1%. For more details, please refer to the website of the Central Election Poll Survey Deliberation Commission.
