to stand 4
at the forefront 4
of the mayoral race 3
amid fierce competition 4
between the rival camps, 4
despite his endorsement of Park 4
during his own withdrawal 4
from the race. 4
Political watchers 1
say 2
Ahn's backing has turned 3
the Seoul election 3
into a prelude to the 2012 presidential race 4
as the GNP's leading presidential contender Park Geun-hye 1
has been hitting 2
the campaign trail 3
on behalf of Na 4
in the past weeks. 4
The pundits 1
are, however, divided 2
over the degree 4
of the "Ahn effect" 3
on Park's approval ratings. 4
"As the approval ratings between the two candidates have remained close, 4
making Ahn's support for Park public 1
could have 2
a great impact 3
(on voters)," 4
said 2
Hong Hyung-sik, 1
director of the polling agency Hangil Research. 6
Won Hee-woon, a senior researcher 1
at the Korea Society Opinion Institute, 4
argued 2
the Ahn's decision would have 3
little impact 3
as he 1
had already expressed 2
his support for Park 3
in early September 4
when he gave up his mayoral bid. 6
"(His support) 1
will not sharply raise 2
Park's approval ratings. 3
It 1
will rather play 2
a role 3
in collecting swing voters 4
who distanced themselves 6
from the voting 4
amid negative campaigning," 4
Won said, 6
