SEOUL, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Over half of South Koreans demanded next president's decision on the deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system in their soil, a poll showed Tuesday.
According to the survey Cheap Nike Air Max 1 , 56.5 percent of respondents said the deployment process should be suspended and that the final decision should be made by next government as it is a significant matter.
It was based on a survey of 1,003 voters conducted on April 11. The result was jointly released by a local pollster URI Research & Consulting and the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, a local civic group.
The support rate for the suspended THAAD deployment procedure was 18.0 percentage points higher than those who demanded a continued push for the U.S. missile shield installation.
Seoul and Washington agreed in July last year to deploy one THAAD battery in southeast South Korea. A THAAD battery is composed of six mobile launchers, 48 interceptors, an ANTPY-2 radar and a fire & control unit.
In early March, two mobile launchers and part of THAAD elements were delivered to a U.S. military base in South Korea Cheap Nike Air Max 97 , boosting concerns about a hurried deployment before a new government here is launched.
A presidential by-election is scheduled for May 9 as former President Park Geun-hye was impeached on March 10 over corruption allegations.
The deployment decision has been under fire from the opposition bloc as it was made without any parliamentary approval and public discussions.
THAAD in South Korea caused strong opposition from regional countries, including China and Russia, as it breaks regional strategic balance and damages security interests of regional countries.

People don't usually associate the white collar professions with the sport of boxing. Originating in a New York gym in the late 1980s Cheap Air Max 97 , white collar boxing, where both male and female white collar workers train to fight on special occasions, has become an international, if not mainstream, social event.
Last week, a group of 22 white-collar professionals fought in 11 clashes at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing during a glamorous black-tie charity dinner attended by around 500.
Aged between 23 to 49 Cheap Air Max 90 , the fighters' occupations range from editor, engineer, radio host to manager. As in other white collar boxing events around the world, the fighters are all amateurs and had no previous boxing experience.
Shanghai-based events company China Sports Promotions (CSP) has been organizing white collar boxing annually for over six years in China's Shanghai (as "Brawl on The Bund"), Beijing (as "Brawl on The Wall") and Macau (as "Mayhem in Macao").
Basically, any white collar professional is qualified to sign up for the CSP program Cheap Air Max , which is designed to prepare a person with zero experience to be able to fight on the stage within three months. As simple as it sounds, quite a few of the would-be fighters cannot keep up with the intensive training and have to give up.
Coach Sean Wright, 33, from Scotland, was satisfied with the result that 22 of the over 40 applicants in Beijing this year finally walked into the ring .
