[Anchor]
The atmosphere within the Democratic Party of Korea is also unusual as a series of recent polls show that the Democratic Party of Korea's approval rating is within the range of error, but it falls short of the people's power.

The Democratic Party's agony is growing amid divided interpretations of whether it is simply a temporary phenomenon or whether the middle class is leaving.

Although the Democratic Party of Korea is within the margin of error, there are a series of results showing that its approval rating is lower than the power of the people regardless of polling agencies.

Within the Democratic Party, these polls represented the entire nation.Rather, the view is that it is the influence of the temporary gathering of conservatives.

[Woo Sang-ho / Former lawmaker of the Democratic Party of Korea (SBS Radio 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show' on the 15th): There is no doubt that our president is feeling a sense of crisis and uniting, not in a situation where he was so bad as in the past, and there is no party he supports.]

However, many point out that we should not turn a blind eye to the crisis signal that the middle class and the 20th and 30th youth are leaving.

In the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the Democratic Party of Korea responded incorrectly, such as increasing anxiety.

[Choi Jae-sung / Former senior presidential secretary for political affairs (CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 17th): (The Democratic Party) seems a little incompetent, irresponsible, or rough, mocking/ has accelerated the rally and moved the middle class....]

In particular, it is analyzed that the so-called Democratic Party of Korea's "Vito sentiment" has surfaced as the ruling party's offensive continues, including the withdrawal of rebellion and censorship of Kakao Talk, in addition to the impeachment and accusation of the prime minister.

[Park Yong-jin / Former Democratic Party lawmaker (SBS Radio 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show' on the 17th): Impeach him if he doesn't listen, and make it clear that he's not showing off his power/ but a responsible party....]

There is also an interpretation that the high unfavorable level of representative Lee Jae-myung is affecting not only the party's approval rating but also the stagnation of his own approval rating.As he has worked hard on expanding the outside world to the extent that he is evaluated as

'right click', this is not an unusual part for CEO Lee, who is seeking the next presidential election.

[Rep. Ahn Cheol Soo / People's Power (CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 17th): The Democratic Party is probably very concerned. The Democratic Party of Korea's current approval rating of Chairman Lee Jae-myung is less than 30%.]

In a closed-door meeting, Lee reportedly said, "We should take good care of the public sentiment on the floor, whether the recent poll results are due to fake news or the gathering of the camp."

After President Yoon's arrest, he has been focusing on economic and diplomatic issues for people's livelihoods and refraining from mentioning political issues.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader (17th): What politics needs to work together to solve is to quickly restore the deteriorating people's livelihood. It's time to focus on the economy and people's livelihoods.

Amid the growing struggles of the Democratic Party of Korea with early presidential elections in mind, voices are also being encouraged that the current strong-arm tactics need to be revised.
