The latest public opinion survey, released just one day before the Constitutional Court's pivotal ruling on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, showed that 57 percent of South Koreans support his removal from office, while 35 percent favor his reinstatement.

According to the NBS poll, released Thursday, respondents who believe "the Constitutional Court should uphold the parliament's impeachment of Yoon" outnumbered those calling for dismissal of the case by a significant 22 percentage points.

This latest poll continues a consistent trend of majority support for President Yoon's ouster, reinforcing public sentiment ahead of Friday's historic ruling that could dramatically reshape South Korea's political landscape.
