Korean Impeachment Highlights Global Trend: Persistent Minority Resistance to Democratic Accountability
Two separate polls, Hangil Research and Jowon C&I, revealed strong public support for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, following the controversial declaration of martial law. Support consistently exceeded 75 percent across both surveys, with higher percentages among younger age groups and progressive political leanings. Regional support varied, but even traditionally conservative regions showed significant backing for impeachment. The surveys employed different methodologies, yet both indicated substantial public dissatisfaction with the president’s actions.
