한 설문조사에서 국민들 중 약 80%는 윤창중 전 대통령 대변인의 성추행 의혹이 박근혜 대통령의 국정 운영에 영향을 줄 것으로 보인다고 생각했다.
지난주 민간 여론조사업체인 모노 리서치가 실시한 여론조사에 따르면 여론조사 응답자 1，191명 중 76%는 장기 또는 단기간이든 “그의 행동이 현 정부의 국정운영에 불가피하게 영향을 미칠 것”이라는데 동의했다.
그 밖의 22%는 이 사건이 그의 사적인 문제이기 때문에 “심각한 영향을 미치지는 않을 것이다”라고 말한 반면에 2%는 “잘 모르겠다”고 응답했다.
응답자의 약 40%는 지난주 월요일 수석비서관들과의 회동에서 박 대통령의 사과가 현재로서는 그가 할 수 있는 최선이라고 말한 반면에 34%는 만족스럽지 않다고， 22%는 형식과 내용 면에서 모두 부적절하다고 응답했다.
약 57%는 박 대통령의 국정 운영에 대해 긍정적으로 평가해 4월 25일 54%보다 상승했다.

Public see groping scandal harming running of country
By Kim Young-won
A survey showed that around 80 percent of the public believed the alleged sexual assault by former presidential spokesperson Yoon Chang-jung would likely affect President Park Geun-hye`s state management.
According to the survey conducted by private poll taker Mono Research last week，76 percent of 1, 191 survey participants agreed “his acts would inevitably affect state management of the current government” for either a short or long period of time. Another 22 percent agreed that “it might not have a serious impact” since it was his private matter，while 2 percent said they had “no idea.”
Around 40 percent of respondents said Park`s apology at a meeting with senior secretaries last Monday was the best she could do at that moment， while 34 percent said the apology was unsatisfactory，and 22 percent responded that it was inappropriate both in form and content.
Around 57 percent gave a positive assessment of Park`s handling of state affairs, up from 54 percent on April 25.
“The public are aware of the seriousness of the recent incident and its possible impact on state management， but they do not shift much blame toward the president,” said Lee Jae-hwan, a senior researcher of the pollster. “They see it as a personal matter rather than something President Park should take responsibility for.”
Former spokesperson Yoon is accused of sexually harassing an intern who was temporarily hired to help Yoon while he was accompanying President Park during her first visit to the U.S. as head of state.
The investigation by Washington D.C. police against Yoon is underway and expected to last between a month and three months， according to a news report. Yoon， who has now gone into hiding， was officially fired from his job at Cheong Wa Dae last Wednesday.
