A recent survey suggests that the majority of South Koreans believe that North Korea will breach the Feb 13 Agreement and even continue with its nuclear development.<\/p>\n
On the 18th, a South Korean news channel YTN joined forces with Global Research to conduct telephone interviews with 1000 participants on the question of North Korea and the Feb 13 Agreement. It seems that 58% of South Koreans believe that North Korea will not fulfill the requirements of the agreement and that North Korea will not surrender its nuclear development. <\/p>\n
Conversely, 21.9% of participants believe that North Korea would fulfill the Feb 13 Agreement but would not surrender its nukes. At present, public negativity seems to be stemming from North Korea\u2019s ill action and recent failure at delivering its promise by the set 60 days, April 14th. <\/p>\n
Regarding the normalization of South-North relations, 22.7% of participants selected \u2018strongly agree,\u2019 49.4% \u2018somewhat agree,\u2019 72.1% \u2018agree,\u2019 23.1% \u2018disagree,\u2019 3.7% \u2018somewhat disagree,\u2019 and 19.4% \u2018strongly disagree.\u2019 <\/p>\n
In response to the question regarding the influence of the talks on the development of South-North relations, 50.6% of participants believed that it would not have any affect. Further, 33.0% of participants believed that it would be a positive affect for the current ruling government whereas only 12.7% believe it would have a positive affect on the opposing government. <\/p>\n
On a different note, participants were asked, \u2018If you were to vote for the next president today, who would you vote for?\u2019 Lee Myung Bak, former mayor of Seoul received the highest votes at 34.1%, followed by Park Geun Hae, former representative for the Grand National Party at 22.1%. <\/p>\n
While other politicians were nominated it seems that Mr. Lee is currently taking the lead, especially with the possibility of an increase in votes by 13.7%. Accordingly, Mr. Lee will hold the lead with a 25.7% disparity with Ms. Park though this gap currently stands at 12.0%.<\/p>\n
The recent survey conducted by YTN and Global Research interviewed 1000 people over the age of 19 years via the telephone, taking into consideration 95% accuracy and \u00b13.1% discrepancy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
