People Power Party(PPP) presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo placed second with 36 percent, followed by Reform Party leader and former PPP Chair Lee Jun-seok with ten percent.

While Lee Jae Myung maintains the lead ahead of the June 3 election despite a recent decline in support, Kim and Lee Jun-seok’s combined tally is greater than that of Lee Jae-myung.

Kim’s approval rating rose by seven percentage points from the previous week, while Lee Jun-seok gained two percentage points.

The Democratic Party’s approval rating slipped by six percentage points to 42 percent, while the People Power Party posted an approval rating of 36 percent, up six percentage points from the previous week.
