The People's Association of Trustees released a pre-election poll for Taipei mayor today. Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party surpassed Chiang Wanan of the KMT with 50.3% and 33.3%, leading by 17 percentage points. The ocean current cyclone spilled over to various counties and cities and became the focus. Tainan mayoral candidate Chen Tingfei of the Democratic Progressive Party said she respects the poll results of all parties and will be included as a reference by her team. She also called on people to return to their hometowns to vote.
Chen Tingfei said that the power of ocean currents has particularly resonated with the younger generation and made more people care about Taiwan's politics and future. She called on people who work or study abroad to remember to return home to vote and support the candidates nominated by the DPP. Ocean currents fight sea battles, and concubines rise to fight air battles. Coupled with local organizations' land battles and mass gatherings of land, sea and air, this is the power of the DPP to unite and win the election.
Chen Ting Fei recently launched the Tainan limited edition "Ocean Current Fei Rises" streamer, hoping to connect the support forces of Taipei and Tainan through the mass gathering of sea and air. She emphasized that in 2026, we must work together to increase the vote rate and lay the foundation for victory, so that this force will become the greatest confidence for President Lai Qingde to win a big victory in 2028. "Let's all work together to win, Taipei will be fine, and Tainan will be fine!"
The aforementioned poll was entrusted by the Trustees Association to design and analyze the questionnaire, and Beacon Market Research Company conducted telephone interviews. From October 14 to October 16, the survey targets were people registered in Taipei City and over the age of 20. 1,075 people were successfully interviewed (753 people on residential phones and 322 on mobile phones). The maximum sampling error was ±3.0%.
