沈政男以政黨基本盤估算台北市長選舉,認沈伯洋落後蔣萬安約十個百分點,但僅以現在民調推算未來,忽略中間選民流動、候選人人格與施政表現等變數。文章指出,選舉結果難以被簡單民調預測,真正關鍵在於願意依候選人表現選擇的中間選民,而非鋼票或鐵票的固定支持。

沈政男醫師近日分析台北市長選舉民調,將選民區分為「鋼票」與「鐵票」,並以政黨基本盤估算,沈伯洋目前落後蔣萬安約十個百分點。他認為,即使「洋流」確實存在,也可能只是綠營同溫層的動員;沈伯洋若想挑戰蔣萬安,必須取得大量中間選民支持。

這個判斷有一半是對的:沈伯洋目前確實不是領先者,民進黨在台北市的基本盤也不如國民黨。若今天就投票,蔣萬安當然占有優勢。
請繼續往下閱讀...
問題是,沈政男算出了今天的起跑線,卻幾乎把它當成選舉終點。
民調可以測量當下,卻不能封存未來。候選人尚未正式確定,選戰尚未全面展開,政見、人格、施政表現、突發事件與中間選民的移動,都還沒有真正發生。此時便依照政黨板塊推算兩年後的結果,表面上是精密分析,實際上只是把今天的數字向後延伸。
更值得注意的是,這份民調總樣本只有一千零七十六人,整體抽樣誤差約正負三個百分點;若再拆成各行政區,每區樣本更少,誤差自然更大。連大安區的數據都與一般政治認知不符,沈政男自己也承認可能是抽樣誤差所致。既然如此,又怎能把這些數字當成精密算盤,斷言誰已經輸掉十個百分點?
算得到基本盤,算不到選民為何改變。
沈政男最大的盲點,不是數學不好,而是只算了選舉的一半。
他算得到藍營有多少鋼票、鐵票,也算得到綠營基本盤有多少,卻沒有算到政治人物的一句話,可能趕走多少中間選民;一次施政失誤,可能改變多少人的判斷;一名候選人的論述、人格與長期行動,又可能逐步爭取多少原本不支持他的人。
汪志冰以「蟑螂、老鼠」形容不同立場的選民,凌濤面對不利民調時不斷質疑抽樣,翁曉玲在國會的強硬作風,這些難道都不會影響中間選民?蔣萬安最近荒腔走板的施政表現、國民黨的路線選擇,以及沈伯洋能否走出同溫層,難道都不必列入計算?
真正決定選舉的,往往正是公式裡最難量化的那一部分。
沈政男提到2018年的韓國瑜,承認韓流之所以能夠突破政黨板塊,是因為爭取到大量中間選民。既然韓國瑜可以,為什麼沈伯洋的支持度就必然只能停留在民進黨基本盤?
柯文哲當年能夠當選台北市長,也不是因為擁有傳統政黨基本盤,而是吸引了大量年輕與中間選民。再往前看,陳水扁無論當選台北市長或總統,都說明選舉從來不只是政黨板塊的加減法;政黨分裂、棄保效應、社會氣氛與選民最後一刻的選擇,都可能改寫結果。

如果民調與基本盤可以準確預告一切,選舉何必投票?委託民調公司宣布當選人即可。
民調是選舉的體溫計,不是命運的判決書。
承認可能輸,才有機會找到贏的方法。
我並不認為沈伯洋一定會贏。相反地,台北市向來是艱困選區,蔣萬安具有現任優勢,沈伯洋若代表民進黨參選,確實可能失敗。
但「可能失敗」與「蔣萬安必勝」,完全是兩回事。
抱著可能輸的心理,反而能避免被網路聲量沖昏頭。沈伯洋若把「洋流」當成勝利保證,只會留在同溫層裡接受掌聲;若知道基本盤不足,就必須走進陌生選區,傾聽不支持他的人,以政策、人格與行動逐票爭取中間選民。
沈伯洋經常掛在嘴邊的一句話是:
「最短的捷徑,就是繞遠路。」
那條遠路,不是依靠幾場造勢或幾支熱門影片,製造已經勝選的幻覺;而是願意花時間回答質疑、修正不足,讓原本不了解他、甚至反對他的市民,逐步相信他值得託付。
沈政男的分析可以告訴沈伯洋:現在仍落後,前面的路非常艱難。這是一項有用的提醒。但若把今天的民調直接寫成兩年後的判決,那就不是分析未來,而是把自己的政治立場投射到未來。

真正的專家,應該用數據檢驗自己的判斷;自以為是的專家,才會先決定答案,再請數字替立場作證。
選舉最大的變數,從來不是鋼票或鐵票,而是那些拒絕被裝進藍綠抽屜、仍願意依照候選人表現作出選擇的中間選民。
沈政男算出了基本盤,卻只算了一半。
而選舉最精彩、也最可能改寫歷史的部分,恰恰都發生在另外一半。

若沈伯洋能夠有效走出同溫層,深入中間選民社區,並以政策與人格逐步建立信任,其支持度有可能在選舉前逐步縮小與蔣萬安的差距。

After Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, was accused by the Kuomintang of equating drugs with medicines, Jiang Wanan responded on Facebook. However, it was discovered that in 2021, he had proposed methadone substitution treatment for the treatment of heroin addiction, which triggered an influx of angry comments from netizens. Despite editors frantically deleting messages, the number of messages continued to surge, reaching 378,000 at 11:07 a.m. on the 4th, breaking the Guinness World Record of 377,004 messages previously held by an Indian team on a single Facebook project in 24 hours. There are still about 10 hours left until the full 24-hour count is reached, and the record may be significantly refreshed.

In the countdown to the nine-in-one election at the end of the year, Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen held a campaign headquarters inauguration meeting. Former Taichung mayor Hu Zhiqiang, former Taichung county magistrates Huang Zhongsheng, Liao Liao and Chen Gengjin personally attended the platform. Former Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Fengxi also came to support, demonstrating the power of local integration.

The founding meeting of the Kuomintang's Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen was held in Taichung Phase 7. Legislative President Han Guoyu, New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi and Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan's "three sons" took the stage to support the election. Party Chairman Cheng Li-wen attended the briefing at 9:46 and left early because of her schedule and did not participate in the subsequent "group hug" session.

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's 2014 drug article was republished by Lanying to question his anti-drug stance. Jiang Wanan emphasized that there is no room for ambiguity in anti-drugs. However, netizens also found out that in his 2021 legislative session, he proposed methadone replacement therapy for the treatment of heroin addiction. The CDC stated that methadone replacement therapy is an internationally recognized and effective drug treatment method that can reduce personal and social harm, and improve patients' employment rate and quality of life.

Brazilian President Lula's campaign team requested Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court to include the suspension of offline consular services by the US embassy and consulate in Brazil due to security issues into the ongoing investigation of external interference in Brazil's elections. The campaign team called this another example of the U.S. government's interference in Brazil's elections. Brazil's Federal Chamber of Barristers had previously requested an investigation into the U.S. government's alleged funding of civil groups opposed to the Brazilian Supreme Court. The first round of voting in Brazil's presidential election is scheduled to be held on October 4.

At the same time, 4.4 million "law-savvy people" have been cultivated across the country, and rule of law publicity and education has covered more than 1.45 billion people.
