Opinion polls show that Shen Boyang's support is close to that of Chiang Wanan. Lai Ruilong said that "ocean currents" drive the support of young and indifferent voters

Polling expert Dai Li'an released the latest poll yesterday (22nd). The support for the DPP's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang has narrowed significantly to only 1.2% behind Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan. Will the spillover of the "ocean current" affect the election in Kaohsiung? In response to this, Lai Ruilong Jin (23), the Kaohsiung mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, pointed out in an interview that the "ocean current" has brought about the support of many younger generations who are relatively indifferent to politics. Ke Zhien of the Kuomintang responded, "The person I am choosing is Lai Ruilong, not Shen Boyang!"

Lai Ruilong pointed out that the candidates proposed by the DPP this time are all from the new generation and they are all very outstanding. Shen Boyang used to be in the Legislative Yuan. In fact, everyone admired his professionalism, enthusiasm and straightforwardness. During this period, we also saw that he was very diligent in traveling to every county and city to win the support of the people.

Lai said that especially last week, he and Shen Boyang teamed up in Kaohsiung and went stand-up paddleboarding. They also gained general favor from everyone and allowed everyone to see some different aspects of the new generation. In the future, he will continue to add opera, shot put or stand-up paddle skating, etc., to use more aspects to let the public see the different faces of the new generation. He will also continue to promote more activities that are more lively and closer to the people. "Let everyone see that in addition to our professionalism and governance capabilities, we have many diverse sides. We also hope to win more recognition and support from the public."

Will targeting "Ocean Current" help his election? Lai Ruilong said that during this period, a lot of support has been generated from the younger generation who are relatively indifferent to politics or from the younger generation. From the entire event, they came forward in large numbers, which is a positive effect for all of Taiwan. "Let more younger generations stand up, and let more people who were relatively indifferent to politics in the past stand up. They can see the professional vitality of the new generation and the idealism of the new generation. This is very important!" He also hopes that "all candidates of the Democratic Progressive Party in the future will demonstrate the youthful energy, creativity, execution, and professional capabilities of the new generation, so that more people can see the excellent candidates launched this time, and I also hope that everyone will achieve good results by the end of the year."

Ke Zhien said that polls are flying all over the sky now, and all poll numbers are used as a reference. "This is Kaohsiung, not Taipei, so of course we go at our own pace. Besides, the one I chose is Lai Ruilong, not Shen Boyang." So is there any spillover effect? She felt that this still needed further observation, but she could just follow her own pace.
