Why It Matters

2026年地方選舉進入衝刺階段,各方民調紛出。

2026年地方選舉進入最後衝刺,民調一份接一份丟出來,數字也一份比一份離譜。銘傳大學傳播學者杜聖聰指出,同一座城市、同一批選民、同一段時間,有人算出藍營穩贏,有人算出綠營大勝,也有人算成五五波;支持者挑自己愛看的轉貼,政治人物挑對自己有利的引用,媒體再配上斗大標題放送。民調本來是量體溫的溫度計,現在卻像一根攪屎棍,把整池水越攪越渾。

杜聖聰提到,不管是台北市、高雄市或台中市,就連新竹市的各家選舉民調數字都可相差天南地北,到底是方法謬誤,還是居心不良?他認為,真正該追問的,是躲在數字背後的那雙手。委託者是誰?經費從哪裡來?為什麼有些調查只在關鍵時刻出現,選後就消失?為什麼方法說明永遠語焉不詳?做這些東西,是為了騙一兩天的流量,還是真的對公平正義負責?

有人說,選民不是傻子,這種東西沒用。但他認為有用,而且很有用。民調有議題設定效果,也有框架效果。今天告訴你某人大勢已去,明天告訴你某人逆轉勝,大量反覆注射之後,選民對選情的認知框架就被悄悄改寫了。相信某人必勝的,產生從眾效應;覺得自己陣營被低估的,出現逆勢動員;政治人物和媒體天天重播有利數字,支持者的確認偏誤也越來越深。

民調引用聲量,聲量又引用民調,循環放大之後,已經不是在測量民意,而是在製造民意。民調本來是讓社會看清楚的工具,現在卻成了讓大家看不清楚的煙霧。

他認為,選舉會結束,但民調欠下的帳,不能隨著開票一筆勾銷。民調可以有誤差,學者可以有不同判斷,但標準不能看顏色。選票決定誰當選,選後驗證則決定誰的民調還值得被相信。溫度計可以不準,但不能拿來當攪屎棍。

Speak freely” From persuading voters to influencing AI: a new battlefield for election communication

The Taipei mayor’s televised debate was the first to use AI on a large scale for real-time fact checking and verbatim analysis, shortening information verification time. This move will not only change the traditional campaign offense and defense, but may also contaminate AI information sources and weaken the influence of political party KOLs with distinctive colors.
