Roh and his gang are so low in the polls, he's a joke.

He was voted in by the youth of South Korea.

So, regardless of current polls, it shows were South Korea will be going in the future.

His liberal party lost elections everywhere a couple of months ago. Conservatives won all over. I see them going farther right.

Considering that the trend for the last 13 years has been toward increasing leftism in South Korea... I rather doubt it.

Remember Kim Yong-sam? He was more 'left' than his predecessor Roh Tae-woo.

And Kim Dae-jung was even farther left.

And now it's Roh Moo-hyun... again, even farther left.

Also, during this time... the youth of the nation has been increasing taught by pro-North Korean leftist provocateurs (it's definitely made the news in the Chosun Ilbo multiple times).

So, while Roh's number may currently be in the toilet... I believe that this is more of a 'last gasp' from the older generations before they pass away. Once there are more voters taught and raised under the leftist banner, it won't happen again.
