Taipei mayoral election polls show that the difference in support between current mayor Chiang Wanan and candidate Shen Boyang is only 1.2 percentage points, which is within the margin of error. The Kuomintang questioned the relationship between polling funding groups and Cao Xingcheng, the promoter of the general recall.
Wherever Shen Boyang went, he attracted large crowds, holding high signs with the word "Ocean Current" in support.
The People's Association released a press conference yesterday on the Taipei mayoral election poll. The current mayor Chiang Wanan's support was 41.7%, and his opponent Shen Boyang's was 40.5%. Both of them fell within the margin of error. KMT party officials questioned that this poll, in which Shen Boyang closely pursued Chiang Wanan, and the relationship between the funding group and Cao Xingcheng, an important promoter of the general recall, has been questioned by the outside world. Now, the fifth wave of polls is launched at the height of the "Ocean Current" campaign. "Who pays, who publishes, and who benefits?" It deserves external examination. Party officials sarcastically said that if Shen Boyang was called "Ocean Current", if Jiang Wanan had time to travel around like former President Ma Ying-jeou, he would be called "Ten Thousand Currents Returning to the Clan."
Party officials pointed out that Shen Boyang won Da'an District, and Chiang was "optimistic about being elected" by a huge margin of 36.5 percentage points, but his support only won by 1.2 percentage points. This poll is counterintuitive in every aspect. Shen Boyang has been studying cognitive warfare for many years. Nowadays, "ocean currents" and polls are coming one after another. I believe society will have its own public judgment on whether it is true public opinion or artificial waves.

KMT election auxiliary people said that polls all have some specific positions. It depends on how it is sampled. It cannot just look at a number, but needs to do cross-analysis based on the number of supporters on both sides. The Kuomintang itself conducts polls, and also conducts cross-analysis based on the situation. Because everyone now uses mobile phones, polls conducted by indoor telephones are now more and more error-prone; poll reports produced by indoor telephones must be supplemented by a comprehensive analysis of the entire local political ecology and the voting behavior of voters in all aspects, and will not rely solely on polls for analysis.
Party officials bluntly said that they would not even look at some polls, because the party has already conducted polls, and of course they have their own analytical perspective, rather than being affected by institutional effects. Party insiders joked that if Shen Boyang was called "Ocean Current" and Jiang Wanan had time to travel around like former President Ma Ying-jeou did at that time, then he would be called "Wanliu Guizong" and could go and canvass votes for many candidates. Party officials quipped that if the "ocean current" was so powerful, then Shen Boyang would just be elected president! Really, no one can compare to "Korean Wave".
