More than half of South Koreans polled believe the government should call off its major development project in two Gyeonggi Province cities amid speculation allegations at the state-run Korea Land and Housing Corporation(LH).

According to a latest Realmeter survey of 500 adults last Friday, 57-point-nine percent of respondents said it would be appropriate to cancel the project announced for the cities of Gwangmyeong and Siheung.

Thirty-four percent said a project cancellation would be inappropriate, while eight-point-one percent said they were undecided.

Over 60 percent in most regions called for a cancellation. However, 48-point-nine percent in the central regions of Daejeon, Sejong and Chungcheong said the project shouldn't be cancelled, compared to 37-point-four percent who said it should be.

Sixty-six percent of moderates supported the cancellation, while the idea was supported by 58-point-one percent of conservatives and 52-point-four percent of liberals.

The survey, commissioned by YTN, had a confidence level of 95 percent with a margin of error of plus or minus four-point-four percentage points.
