"Beautiful Island Electronic News" announced the national political poll on October 3. Professor Zhang Youzong designed the questionnaire, and Trend Opinion Survey Company conducted telephone interviews. The survey period was from October 27 to 29, 2026. 1,204 people were successfully interviewed, and the maximum sampling error was ±2.82%.
The nine-in-one general election is approaching, and the race for local chiefs is becoming increasingly fierce. Media person Wu Jingyi pointed out that the ridiculous and extreme performance of the Legislative Yuan for a long time has plunged the Kuomintang into a phenomenon of "negative party identification". In the latest polls, the dissatisfaction with the courts has continuously exceeded 60%, with both blue and white negative evaluations. She said that in the past, local elections were often regarded as mid-term exams for the central ruling party, but this year voters may not only test the rulers, but also the opposition camp that controls the majority in Congress. Will the KMT local elections have to pay for the political legacy of the "Fu Huang System" in Congress?
"Beautiful Island Electronic News" released the October 3rd national political poll. The data showed that people's satisfaction with the overall performance of the Legislative Yuan is still low. The survey showed that 25.7% expressed satisfaction, 61.4% expressed dissatisfaction (19.2% were somewhat dissatisfied, 42.2% were very dissatisfied), and 12.9% did not answer clearly.
For this poll, "Beautiful Island Electronic News" funded and commissioned Professor Zhang Youzong to design the questionnaire, and commissioned Trend Opinion Survey Company to conduct the telephone interview. The survey scope is 22 counties and cities across the country, and the subjects are people registered in the survey scope and over 20 years old. The survey period is from October 27 to October 29, 2026. The survey method used computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by interviewers. 1,204 people were successfully interviewed (720 by residential phone and 484 by mobile phone). The maximum sampling error of the combined sample at the reliability level of 95% was ±2.82%.
Wu Jingyi posted on Facebook that with the countdown to the 2026 local elections, what the KMT will face in the local elections may not only be competition between candidates, but also a test of whether the image of the central party can be separated from the local elections!
Wu Jingyi said that according to the latest poll in Formosa in October, dissatisfaction with the Legislative Yuan was 61.4%, breaking 60% continuously; among them, "very dissatisfied" climbed from 39.1% to 42.2%. In October, 55.0% of people disliked the Kuomintang and 57.4% of the People's Party. Blue and White both had more than half of their negative evaluations, and 65.3% of people aged 30 to 39 disliked the Kuomintang.
Wu Jingyi criticized the Legislative Yuan’s absurd and extreme performance for a long time, causing the Kuomintang to fall into the phenomenon of "negative party identification"! When a political party's brand name is no longer just an electoral asset, it will also become a political liability for local candidates. This is the actual dilemma faced by Jiang Wanan, Jiang Qichen, and Ke Zhien!
Wu Jingyi bluntly said that in the past, local elections were often regarded as a mid-term test for the central ruling party, but a different "reverse pendulum" may appear in 2026, that is, voters will not only test the rulers, but also the opposition camp that controls the majority in Congress.
Wu Jingyi said that Lan Bai really does not need to scold Jade Bird all day long, nor does he need to blame Zheng Liwen. If you want to scold, just scold Fu Kunqi and Huang Guochang!

In a telephone interview with Fox News on the day of the U.S. midterm election, Trump announced that the United States would stop providing approximately $4 billion in annual military aid to Israel by the end of 2026. CNN believes that this heralds a historic change in the U.S. political landscape, with unprecedented cracks in the consensus between the two parties supporting Israel, but it does not necessarily mean a strategic break in the U.S.-Israel alliance.

The U.S. midterm elections will be the first national referendum on Trump's second-term agenda, including tariffs, a war with Iran and a crackdown on immigration. Republicans are expected to lose control of the House of Representatives, with the Senate also at risk. The Democratic Party launched its campaign with the core appeal of lowering living expenses, striving to achieve breakthroughs in the traditional territory of the Republican Party.

The U.S. midterm elections may produce the first Muslim senator. Michigan Democratic candidate Abdul Said, 42, is a doctor by training and has never held an elected office.

Four people were injured when a scaffolding collapsed during the demolition project of the Beitou Old Market in Taipei City. Cross-party lawmakers questioned the city government's lax public safety management and pointed out that the public had previously reported violations through 1999.

The U.S. midterm elections will be held on the 3rd, and Trump will watch the results with allies and cabinet members in the East Room of the White House. According to sources, although Trump holds on to a glimmer of hope and believes that the polls may be wrong, he privately admits that the Republican Party may face the worst-case scenario and that the White House is prepared for various outcomes.
