16th Presidential Election Opinion Poll Questionnaire

In South Korea, the presidential election is a decisive moment that determines the nation's direction for the next five years. Analyzing the "votes" from the presidential election provides insight into public sentiment and the structure of conflict for the upcoming five-year period. EAI conducts opinion polls during the presidential election period not merely to predict the election outcome, but with the objective of envisioning the future of South Korea, preemptively identifying and preparing countermeasures for the inherent socio-political contradictions and dilemmas.Survey Design
