Report: According to a KBS survey of one-thousand adults conducted by Hankook Research ahead of the New Year’s holiday, 72 percent said the president’s decision to impose martial law was unconstitutional and that it was a serious crime. 

However, 24 percent viewed it as a constitutional exercise of his presidential power. 

Asked about the parliamentary passage of a motion to impeach Yoon, 73 percent said it was a good decision while 25 percent said it was a bad one.

Sixty-nine percent of the respondents said the Constitutional Court should uphold the impeachment and remove Yoon from office, while 26 percent said the court should reject it and reinstate him. 

Forty-two percent said they support the main opposition Democratic Party, while 24 percent said they support the ruling People Power Party.

The survey, conducted between Sunday and Tuesday, has a 95 percent confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus three-point-one percentage points.
