The survey also showed that among supporters of the ruling People Power Party(PPP), 89 percent agreed with the court's judgement, while 77 percent of DP supporters believed it was wrong.

By region, the traditional conservative strongholds of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province had the highest number of respondents who agreed with the court at 67 percent.

The survey had a response rate of 16-point-seven percent with a margin of error of plus or minus three-point-one percentage points and a 95 percent confidence level.
