More people in every region nationwide opposed than supported giving the power to cancel indictments to the "fabricated indictment special counsel" pushed by the Democratic Party of Korea against the Yoon Suk-yeol administration. Even in Gwangju and Jeolla, considered a stronghold for the ruling camp, opposition was 39%, higher than support (35%).

In a survey by Gallup Korea of 1,011 people aged 18 and older nationwide from the 12th to the 14th asking about granting the power to cancel indictments to the fabricated indictment special counsel, 44% answered "should not grant it (oppose)." Responses saying "should grant it (support)" were 27%, and 28% said they did not know or refused to answer.

Among Democratic Party of Korea supporters, support was 43% and opposition 27%, and among progressives, support was 49% and opposition 31%. By contrast, among People Power Party supporters, support was 14% and opposition 68%, and among conservatives, support was 16% and opposition 62%. Among moderates, support was 27% and opposition 45%.

By region, opposition was higher in all areas. In Seoul, support was 24% and opposition 49%; in Incheon and Gyeonggi, support was 32% and opposition 39%. In Daegu and North Gyeongsang, support was 25% and opposition 51%; in Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang, support was 20% and opposition 49%.

In Gwangju and Jeolla, known as a stronghold for the ruling camp, support was 35% and opposition 39%. It is within the margin of error, but opposition is still higher.

Gallup Korea analyzed that "while there are relatively many proponents of granting the power among the president and ruling party supporters and progressives, the share does not exceed 50%, indicating a tepid stance compared with past bipartisan contentious issues."

The survey was conducted through interviewer-administered phone interviews using randomly generated virtual mobile numbers. The margin of error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. For details, refer to the website of the National Election Survey Deliberation Commission.
