The "Ku Kuanmin Foundation" stated that Dai Li'an's polls were inaccurate. Huang Weihan gave a reference case: in the third district of Bei City in 2008, the polls at that time predicted that Jiang Xiaoyan would get 61.5% of the votes and Guo Zhengliang 38.5%. The final results were that Jiang Xiaoyan would get 60.3% of the votes and Guo Zhengliang 38.4%, which was an almost perfect hit.

The "Ku Kuanmin Foundation" bluntly said, Jiang Wanan, stop laughing. Poll numbers are like DNA and cannot lie. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask your father.

Polls show that the difference in support between Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan is only 1.2%. The Blue Camp questions the credibility of the data.

A poll by the Trustees Association showed that the difference in support between Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang and current mayor Chiang Wanan is only 1.2 percentage points. KMT Taipei City Councilor Yang Zhidou questioned the relationship between the polling unit and UMC founder Tsao Hsing-cheng before the poll was released. The blue camp tried to use the "general recall" label to influence voters' perceptions. The fan blog "Voice and Politics" pointed out that this move reflects the anxiety of the blue camp, and companies regard the closer election campaign as a real change, but in fact they are competing for the power to interpret the current election situation.
