The People's Association of Trustees released a pre-election poll for Taipei mayor today. DPP candidate Shen Boyang led the KMT candidate Chiang Wanan with 50.3%, 33.3%, an unprecedented 17% lead. When asked about the impact of this wave of "ocean currents" on New Taipei City's election, New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Qiaohui of the Democratic Progressive Party said that there are more and more supporters. "Ocean currents gather together, win-win for both the north and the north" is not just a slogan. She will organize more activities with Shen in the future. City Councilor Zhuo Guanting also said that he has put up a billboard with this slogan at an important intersection between Sanying and Taipei. He hopes to materialize this momentum and win the election together.
In response to the spillover effect of "Ocean Current", Su Qiaohui said in a joint interview with the media that the value she wants to convey to everyone in this election campaign is to use a positive and sunny attitude to talk about her political opinions and vision for the city, express their love for the city, and strive for opportunities to serve the city. She is very happy that more and more people are joining the "Hui Gathering". In the future, she and Shen Boyang will hold more online and offline activities together and continue to sprint.
Zhuo Guanting pointed out that he has hung the largest sign of all the billboards this year with "Ocean Currents Gathering, a Win-win for both North and South". The location is just at the important intersection to and from Taipei in the Sanying area, and he encourages supporters to sprint, canvass, and vote together.
He analyzed that the expansion effect of the ocean current actually started as early as September. What is interesting is that this did not start with the basic supporters, but because of the "breaking circle" effect, which simultaneously awakened the curiosity of the middle voters and the enthusiasm of the supporters, creating a companionship effect. "This is the most special thing about the ocean current."
Zhuo observed the survey of citizens in various counties this year. As the ocean current effect spreads across the country, the greater the original gap, the greater the gap. In New Taipei City, the level of grassroots enthusiasm is also higher than before, including the enthusiasm of supporters met at the market. He also just finished his lecture at Yanhe Plaza in Tucheng a few days ago, and the influx of people on site exceeded expectations.
City Councilor Weng Zhenzhou said that Shen's lead in the polls over Chiang's represents that his policy exposition and attack and defense are favored by the public at this stage. Since the two regions share a common living area, the "ocean current" effect also spills over to New Taipei. Citizens who are attracted to Shen can be seen in many events. For green camp candidates, it can enhance the candidate's popularity. Supplemented by the candidate's usual service and operation in the constituency, it will have a multiplier effect. Follow-up election arrangements will fully cooperate with Su Qiaohui's campaign for the office.
Mr. Li, a 75-year-old resident of Banqiao District, New Taipei Province, said that from the "ocean current" phenomenon, he saw that the DPP was really powerful in the election. It knew how to arouse the enthusiasm of supporters. The "ocean current" craze was seen everywhere. The DPP knew what the people wanted. In comparison, the Kuomintang "really didn't know how to elect." Blue called for a general distribution of 20,000. If the budget is not enough, he thinks it is not feasible.
The poll released today by the Trustees Association was conducted by polling expert Dai Li'an, who was responsible for questionnaire design and analysis, and Beacon Market Research Company, which conducted telephone interviews. The survey period was from October 14 to October 16. The survey targets were people registered in Taipei City and over the age of 20. 1,075 people were successfully interviewed (753 people from residential phones and 322 people from mobile phones). The maximum sampling error is ±3.0%.
