South Korean political parties see shifting support in latest poll

A recent Media Tomato poll conducted via ARS (RDD) shows a tightening race between South Korea's major political parties. The People Power Party recorded 37.2% support, while the Democratic Party followed closely at 36.2%, a gap within the margin of error.

The Rebuilding Korea Party saw a notable increase, reaching 9.0% support for the first time since the current administration's inception. This growth was particularly pronounced among progressive voters, where the party's support surged by 7.0 percentage points to 17.8%.

Regarding prosecutorial reform, public opinion is divided.
