The People Power Party’s Kim Moon-soo came in second with 35-point-six percent, with Lee Jun-seok of the minor New Reform Party trailing behind at eight-point-seven percent.
More than 80 percent of the respondents said they will continue to support their preferred candidate until the election.
Additionally, 55-point-six percent of respondents expressed a preference for candidates from the Democratic Party and the previous opposition bloc to win the next presidential election, while 39-point-five percent favored a candidate from the People Power Party.
The survey had a confidence level of 95 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus two-point-five percentage points.
