It's quite apparent to anyone who has lived there for a while and talked to people. Some large scale anonymous surveys done by not particularly sympathetic outsiders also confirm it (e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/10/0...).

That's what happens when the party controls information to paint a very specific picture. You'll find that anonymous surveys in DPRK will also show that most support the Kim regime.

What became the Chinese government we know today also conducted "anonymous" surveys during the cultural revolution. Those who answered incorrectly were bundled up (along with their families) and never seen again.
