“The recent drops among conservative supporters show that Yoon's [Yoon Seok-youl] moves and messages were not effective. As his remarks continue to stir controversy, it seems that fundamental questions on Yoon's quality as a presidential candidate have grown among conservatives. A presidential election is decided on a combination of judgment on the current administration and an evaluation on presidential candidates' policies. Former Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye both succeeded in having their parties stay in power despite strong calls for a leadership change. With Yoon's camp expanding, he will be able to come up with ideas on running the country. The problem is, however, whether he will listen to his politically experienced aides and improve on his shortcomings as a politician.”
