Shen Boyang launched the "Ocean Current" craze, approaching Chiang Wanan's election. Hu Zhiqiang: Ocean currents are all under the sea

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, started the "Ocean Current" craze, visiting markets, night markets and other grassroots places, attracting a large number of people to follow, threatening Chiang Wanan's election, and the momentum spread from Taipei. Former Taichung Mayor Hu Zhiqiang disagreed with this, saying bluntly, "You can't feel the ocean current, the ocean currents are all under the sea!" However, regarding Chiang Wanan's election, he said, "Everyone must act with caution."

Hu Zhiqiang went to the Taichung City Councilor Zhang Lionailun's election platform today. When asked about the effect of ocean currents, he said, "I can't feel the ocean currents, they are all on the bottom of the sea!" He also emphasized that he did not feel the ocean currents in Taichung. The ocean currents are on the bottom of the sea and cannot be found.

When asked if he was concerned about Chiang Wanan's election, Hu Zhiqiang said of course he was concerned and hoped he would be elected. When further asked about Chiang's election, he said sternly, "Now everyone must act prudently, and every candidate must act prudently!"

The ocean current effect caused by Shen Boyang is considered to have affected Chiang Wanan's election. On September 22, the public opinion poll announced that Chiang Wanan's support was 41.7% and Shen Boyang's support was 40.5%. The gap was 1.2 percentage points, which fell within the sampling error range of the survey. It showed that Shen Boyang had gone from lagging behind by nearly 30% to catching up all the way, and the two people's support was very close.

Shen Boyang's "ocean current" is overflowing. Last month, Shen Boyang went to Kaohsiung and Taoyuan to support party mayoral candidates Lai Ruilong and Huang Shijie, played SUP and visited the Zhongli Night Market. On September 27, he will also go to Taichung to join the mayoral candidate He Xinchun to build momentum. The city walk attracted about 30,000 people to snap photos, follow and high-five.

The commissioning unit and source of funding for the poll was the Taipei Cross-Strait Research Association. Dai Li'an was responsible for the questionnaire design and analysis, and Beacon Market Research Company conducted the telephone interviews. The survey was conducted from September 16 to September 18. The subjects were people registered in Taipei City and over 20 years old. 1,076 people were successfully interviewed (752 people from residential phones and 324 people from mobile phones). The maximum sampling error is ±3.0%.
