The People's Association released the second Taipei mayoral election poll today (20th). Polling expert Dai Li'an was responsible for the questionnaire design and analysis. The Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang's support rose to 50.3%, while the current mayor Chiang Wanan's support fell to 33.3%. The gap between the two sides reached 17 percentage points, and a "golden cross" occurred for the first time. Jiang Wanan appeared on "News Face to Face" at 8 o'clock tonight and accepted an exclusive interview with host Xie Zhenwu. When asked whether he expected the results of this poll, he said frankly that although the election was expected to be very close in the final stage, today's results were indeed not expected, which indeed made the team and supporters anxious.

Xie Zhenwu started the program by asking Jiang Wanan whether he expected the poll results announced today. Jiang Wanan said that from the past legislative election to the first mayoral election four years ago, the polls in the final stage of the election would continue to get closer, so he expected that the election would get closer, but today's results were indeed not expected.

Jiang Wanan pointed out that many polls have been released recently, which has really made the team and supporters anxious, "Wow, there are only 39 days, and now the poll data are so close, and there is even a golden cross."

Jiang Wanan called on supporters to "show enthusiasm and come out to vote". If they affirm the governance of him and the city government team over the past four years, they must become "Wanan's clone" and gather all their strength.
