Ban Jae Myung gathering? Optical Illusion Effect? The ruling party is 'floating' due to rebound in approval ratings.

As the ruling party's approval rating has been recovering close to before the martial law crisis in various recent polls, there are various interpretations of the background.

However, there are many concerns that if you rely on anti-Lee Jae-myung sentiment or right-click leaning on strong supporters without reform efforts, it could be poisonous in the long run for external expansion.

In order to resolve the medical gap that continues over the years, the ruling party has started to come up with a plan to return to the major.

In addition to the suspension of the application of the regulation, which prohibits application to the same hospital or department within a year after the suspension of training, the government has asked the government to consider "deferral to enlistment" measures to prevent them from being drafted into the military even if they stop training.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader (Yesterday): We will remove institutional obstacles (to the return of majors to the field). We will resume dialogue between women, medicine, and government to gather wisdom on medical reform tasks, including the number of medical schools.]

For the opposition party, the pressure level was raised through the controversy over the "withdrawal of the rebellion" and the investigation authority of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The fairness of the investigation was also a problem, mentioning the "suspicious internal connection" triggered by the SNS post of Lee Sang-sik, a former police member of the Democratic Party.

[Lee Yang-soo / Secretary-General of People's Power (Yesterday): It is a duty for law enforcement to remain neutral. Taking advantage of the chaotic period of state affairs, the possibility of misunderstanding that could be seen as an internal connection with a specific political party shakes the legitimacy and trust of the national investigation to the root.]

Analysts say that it is not irrelevant to the two-track stance of people's livelihoods and the large-scale attacks and recent trends in opinion polls.

According to Gallup Korea's survey of 1,004 adult men and women nationwide for three days from the 7th, the party's support was 34% of the people's power and 36% of the Democratic Party.

Compared to the previous survey, three weeks ago, the ruling party rose 10 percentage points, while the Democratic Party fell 12 percentage points.

Political party support in a three-day national index survey conducted by four polling organizations has also narrowed to 4 percentage points, with 36% of the Democratic Party and 32% of the people's power.Analysts say that anti-democratic and anti-re-impeachment sentiment has grown due to political fatigue in the

'impeachment in line' as well as the battle to change the contents of the impeachment bill and confusion of investigative rights.

The temporary 'conservative rally' has excessively reflected the voices of the hard-line supporters, but there are even various opinions that the expanded interpretation should be vigilant.

The problem is that a rebound in approval ratings could lead to a "right-click" move, which could lead to a decline in self-reliance within the party, as well as negatively affect the expansion of the outside world.

About 40 ruling party lawmakers headed to Hannam-dong residence to block the execution of the president's arrest warrant,
At the
party level, there was no official warning or request for restraint.

[Kim Jae-seop / Vice President of People's Power Organization (CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 8th): This means that it will be reflected as if it is defending the president of Yoon Suk Yeol. I'm afraid it's going to look like it's going to be against impeachment itself and then it's going to be against the investigation....]

Even within the ruling party, there are not many opinions that the recent rebound in approval ratings is a "reaction" due to the opponent's mistakes, not because the ruling party is doing well.

Some point out that instead of riding on the tide of public sentiment, responsible reform and change will be supported to benefit the competition for public sentiment to catch young people and the middle class.
