Anchor Sunwoo Yoon-ho cited the results of Gallup Korea's 4th week of August survey on Lee Jae-myung's job performance, stating that a survey conducted from August 25th to 27th among voters aged 18 and older nationwide recorded a positive evaluation of 42%.
This figure represents a 3%p decrease from the previous week, emphasizing the clear downward trend in Lee Jae-myung's approval rating.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok questioned the reliability of opinion polling methods after the last local elections, specifically pointing out that traditional telephone interview methods, like those used by Gallup Korea, are no longer credible.
He argued that only ARS (Automated Response System) methods are currently valid for opinion polls, emphasizing the limitations of existing telephone interview methods.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok criticized major media outlets such as Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo for repeatedly manipulating public opinion by citing poll numbers that deviate from actual results, thereby manufacturing legitimacy for their own narratives.
This supports the argument that the media is using opinion polls as a political tool.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok noted that Yoo Shi-min has been the most mentioned figure in the left-wing YouTube ecosystem over the past month, analyzing that the debates surrounding Yoo Shi-min are ultimately forming a pro-Lee vs. anti-Lee structure within the Democratic Party.
This suggests that the internal division within the Democratic Party is entering a serious phase.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok predicted that the Democratic Party is currently in the initial stages of internal division, and this convention of division will last for at least a year.
Therefore, he asserted that the conservative camp should seize this period as an opportunity to push all systems, normalize them, and aggressively go on the offensive regarding issues that have been suppressed until now.
Panelist Jung Woo-jin assessed that public opinion has plummeted at an unprecedented speed since the left-wing government took power, analyzing that this phenomenon demonstrates how negatively the left's strong ideology-driven policies have impacted people's lives and livelihoods.
He diagnosed this as a result of the public experiencing the harms of these policies firsthand across various domains.
Panelist Jung Woo-jin emphasized that the free-right party must undergo a personnel purge and be refilled with capable and vetted individuals.
He cited the example of Han Hwa-gap's granddaughter, who abstained during the vote on Commissioner Lee Jin-soo's dismissal, arguing that personnel reform is key to the free-right party's innovation.
Panelist Jung Woo-jin stressed the need for an intense level of public opinion warfare, collaborating with young people and utilizing new media channels like 'Pan & Menu'.
He emphasized the importance of good leaders expanding communication channels through new media and consistently publicizing efforts.
Anchor Sunwoo Yoon-ho mentioned the expanded influence of new media journalists at the People Power Party's workshop, arguing that legacy media (established press) needs to reflect more. He stated that the public has too many grievances with established media, leaving them no choice but to be critical.
He warned that this trend of new media will continue for the next 10, 20 years, and if established media does not get its act together during this period, it too will plummet.
Anchor Sunwoo Yoon-ho likened the failure of established media to innovate to the drop in Lee Jae-myung's approval rating, emphasizing the importance of change.
Anchor Sunwoo Yoon-ho cited the results of a fairness-commissioned survey conducted from August 23rd to 24th among 1,000 individuals aged 18 and over nationwide, stating that negative evaluations of Lee Jae-myung reached 60.9%. Notably, negative evaluations were higher than positive ones across all age groups.
Even among those in their 40s and 50s, considered Lee Jae-myung's core supporters, negative evaluations were overwhelmingly high: 40s saw 38.2% positive and 59.5% negative, while 50s recorded 43.2% positive and 56.5% negative. He emphasized this as a critical point indicating a collapse in support across all age groups.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok emphasized the term 'breakthrough,' explaining it as a strategy to accurately breach a vulnerable part of the enemy's front line to shake it.
He cited the 'infringement of suffrage incident,' or the election commission incident, as the first example of a breakthrough, defining it as the public recognizing the problems of the election commission and responding to an agenda to resolve them.
Panelist Lee Beom-seok argued that effectively shaking the opponent's front line through such a breakthrough strategy can positively reflect on approval ratings.
This demonstrates a proactive will to change the situation rather than passively waiting for approval ratings to improve.
