Analysis
What the numbers say
People Power Party polls 31.9% in South Korea (poll-of-polls avg of 5 recent verified polls), down 12.7 points this quarter.
↘ Facing headwinds
People Power Party has dropped by 12.7 points to a 31.9% average in South Korea (poll-of-polls avg of 5 verified readings), with a +2.4 point shift across the verified window. The pullback does not erase its structural position — but it warrants attention. That places People Power Party #15 of 56 tracked parties worldwide, with room to climb toward the leading pack.
The key question is whether this is consolidation or the start of a slide: a second consecutive quarterly decline would suggest the 12.7-point drop is a trend rather than noise. The next round of releases is the decisive test — stabilisation near 31.9% would indicate a floor, while further erosion would force a rethink of strategy, messaging and voter targeting.

Party profile
People Power Party: history, ideology and voters
A concise reference on People Power Party of South Korea — where it comes from, what it stands for, and who votes for it.
History
The People Power Party (Gungminui-him) is the current name of South Korea and the conservative lineage, which stretches through the Democratic Justice Party of the 1980s, the Democratic Liberal Party, the Grand National Party, Saenuri and Liberty Korea. Devastated by the 2016-17 impeachment of Park Geun-hye, conservatives regrouped through mergers, becoming the United Future Party and then the People Power Party in 2020. Under the young outsider Lee Jun-seok the PPP won the Seoul and Busan mayoralties in 2021 and, with former prosecutor Yoon Suk Yeol as candidate, the presidency in 2022 by the narrowest margin in Korean history. Yoon and the administration lurched through confrontations with unions, feminists and the opposition before his shock December 2024 martial-law declaration — reversed within hours by parliament — triggered a second conservative impeachment and a period of disgrace. The party rebuilt in opposition, selecting new leadership and distancing itself from martial law while defending its governing record, and by 2026 it was again competitive in national polling ahead of the next legislative cycle.
Ideology
Korean conservatism rests on anti-communism, market economics, the US alliance and respect for the developmental legacy of Park Chung-hee. The PPP champions corporate tax cuts, labour flexibility, nuclear energy and real-estate deregulation, blaming progressive regulation for housing shortages. It is hawkish on North Korea, favouring deterrence and trilateral cooperation with Washington and Tokyo over engagement, and strongly pro-American on trade and technology. On gender the party broke with precedent by courting young men aggrieved at feminism and mandatory military service, a strategy that delivered votes but deepened generational gender conflict. Socially it is traditionalist on family and sceptical of sweeping anti-discrimination legislation. The PPP defends the 1948 founding narrative of the Republic against progressive emphasis on colonial-era collaboration, making history itself a partisan battlefield. Economists place it centre-right; cultural positioning under Yoon veered toward the populist right.
Voter demographics
The conservative base is the elderly, the Yeongnam southeast (Daegu, Busan, North Gyeongsang) and affluent Seoul districts south of the river, especially Gangnam. Older voters who remember poverty and the developmental era vote PPP at very high rates, as do small-business owners, Protestants and military families. The novel development of the 2020s was the breakthrough among men in their twenties, recruited through anti-feminist messaging and gaming-community outreach, even as women in their twenties moved sharply progressive — Korea and the widest youth gender gap in the democratic world. The party is weak among unionised workers, teachers, southwestern Honam voters and urban professionals. Regionalism remains destiny: Yeongnam votes conservative and Honam progressive almost regardless of candidates. Turnout among the elderly is the PPP and the firewall; when youth turnout surges, conservatives usually suffer.
