법무부와 검찰청 수뇌부의 부당한 지시로 대장동 개발 비리 사건 1심 판결에 대한 항소가 좌절되며, 공판 검사들의 거센 반발과 함께 국민적 의구심도 증폭되고 있다. 이런 가운데 '항소 포기는 부적절’ 응답 45.4%, ‘적절’ 38.8%, ‘모름’ 15.8%라는 여론조사 결과가 나왔다.
이는 천지일보가 여론조사기관 코리아정보리서치에 의뢰해 지난 8~9일 이틀간 전국 만 18세 이상 남녀 1005명을 대상으로 조사한 것으로 10일 발표됐다. 검찰의 항소 포기를 비판적으로 보는 여론이 우세한 것임을 알 수 있다.
연령대별로는 40대에서 '부적절' 응답이 51.7%로 가장 높았다. 이어 30대 49.8%, 18세~20대 49.5% 순이었다. 70세 이상은 ‘부적절’ 43.8%, ‘적절’ 28.7%, ‘모름’ 27.5%였다. 반면 50대는 '적절' 응답이 50.1%, 60대는 46.9%를 보였다.
권역별로는 대구·경북에서 '부적절' 응답이 52.7%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 이어 경기·인천 47.7%, 부산·울산·경남 47.2%, 서울 46.5% 순이었다. 반면 충청권·강원은 '적절' 응답 47.1%, 호남·제주는 42.9%였다.
한편 같은 조사에서 실시된 이재명 대통령 임기 중 재판 재개가 필요하다는 응답은 47.5%를 기록했다. 반면 불필요하다는 응답은 45.6%, 입장 유보는 6.9%로 집계됐다. 재판 재개 찬성 비율이 오차범위 내에서 앞서고 있는 형국이다.
연령대별로는 30대에서 재판 재개 필요 응답이 59.6%를 기록했다. 이어 18세~20대 53.1%, 40대 48.9%, 70세 이상 45.4%, 60대 43.3%, 50대 38.0% 순이었다. 반면 불필요 응답은 50대 59.0%, 60대 51.7%로 절반을 상회했다.
권역별로는 대구·경북에서 재판 재개 필요 응답이 61.1%로 가장 높았다. 이어 부산·울산·경남 52.8%, 서울 49.5%, 경기·인천 47.1%였다. 반면 불필요 응답은 호남·제주 60.1%, 충청·강원이 52.1%로 절반을 웃돌았다.
정당 지지도는 더불어민주당 41.3%, 국민의힘 39.0%로 양당이 오차범위 내에서 팽팽하게 맞섰다. 그외 조국혁신당 3.1%, 진보당 0.8%, 개혁신당 3.0%, 기타 정당 2.1%, 없음 8.3%, 모름 2.4%로 집계됐다.

[Korea Information Research] 45.4% Say Giving Up Appeal in Daejang-dong Case Inappropriate, 38.8% Say Appropriate
- Columnist Jeong Seong-tae
The appeal against the first trial ruling in the Daejang-dong development corruption case has been thwarted due to unjustified directives from the Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutors' Office leadership. This has led to a fierce backlash from trial prosecutors and growing public skepticism. Amidst this, a public opinion poll has revealed that 45.4% of respondents said "giving up the appeal is inappropriate," 38.8% said "it is appropriate," and 15.8% said they were "unsure."
This survey, commissioned by the Chosun Ilbo and conducted by the polling agency Korea Information Research on May 8th and 9th, surveyed 1,005 men and women aged 18 and older nationwide. The results were released on May 10th. The survey reveals a prevailing public opinion critical of the prosecution's decision to abandon the appeal.
By age, respondents in their 40s responded most favorably, at 51.7%. This was followed by those in their 30s (49.8%) and those aged 18 to 20 (49.5%). Those aged 70 and older saw the situation as "inappropriate" at 43.8%, "appropriate" at 28.7%, and "don't know" at 27.5%. Conversely, those in their 50s saw the situation as "appropriate" at 50.1%, and those in their 60s saw the situation as 46.9%.
By region, Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province saw the highest percentage of "inappropriate" responses at 52.7%. This was followed by Gyeonggi and Incheon at 47.7%, Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang Province at 47.2%, and Seoul at 46.5%. Conversely, the Chungcheong and Gangwon regions saw the situation as "appropriate" at 47.1%, while Honam and Jeju Province saw the situation at 42.9%.
Meanwhile, in the same survey, 47.5% of respondents said the trial should be resumed during President Lee Jae-myung's term. On the other hand, 45.6% of respondents said it was unnecessary, while 6.9% were undecided. This suggests that the percentage in favor of resuming trials is ahead within the margin of error.
By age, 59.6% of respondents in their 30s believed that resuming trials was necessary. This was followed by 53.1% of those aged 18-20, 48.9% of those in their 40s, 45.4% of those aged 70 and over, 43.3% of those in their 60s, and 38.0% of those in their 50s. Conversely, those in their 50s and 60s who said it was unnecessary accounted for more than half, at 59.0% and 51.7%, respectively.
By region, Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province had the highest percentage of respondents in favor of resuming trials, at 61.1%. This was followed by Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang Province at 52.8%, Seoul at 49.5%, and Gyeonggi and Incheon at 47.1%. On the other hand, unnecessary responses exceeded half, at 60.1% in Honam and Jeju, and 52.1% in Chungcheong and Gangwon.
Political support for the Democratic Party of Korea was 41.3%, while the People Power Party was 39.0%, showing a close match within the margin of error. Other party support ratings included the Fatherland Reform Party at 3.1%, the Progressive Party at 0.8%, the New Reform Party at 3.0%, other parties at 2.1%, 8.3% with no support, and 2.4% who answered "don't know."
The poll was conducted using mobile phone random digit dialing (RDD) automated response methods, with a response rate of 2.2%. The margin of error is ±3.1 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. For more information, please refer to the National Election Survey Deliberation Commission website.
