民進黨有機會再度拿下台北市長寶座嗎?自由撰稿人、資深駐台記者何貴森(Chris Horton)22日在《日經亞洲》(Nikkei Asia)發表評論,從過去採訪國民黨籍台北市長蔣萬安與民進黨候選人沈伯洋的經驗,分析兩人的政治風格與選戰策略。他也評論,台北極有可能選出第二位來自民進黨的市長,若蔣萬安這個「北京偏好對話對象」落選,可能促使中國重新評估對台策略。

何貴森認為,沈伯洋把競選重心放在地方市政,蔣萬安與國民黨則一度將台北長期偏藍的政治版圖視為理所當然,直到近期才開始正視選戰壓力。

何貴森回憶,2017年採訪當時剛當選立委的蔣萬安,原訂訪談時間為1小時。前半小時,兩人談論蔣萬安在矽谷擔任律師的經歷,以及他發現自己與蔣家具有血緣關係的經過,氣氛融洽;但話題轉向中國後,蔣萬安看了手錶,表示自己忘了另有行程,隨即道歉離席。何貴森表示,事後曾多次嘗試重新安排採訪,仍未能成行。

2018年,何貴森採訪當時仍是學者的沈伯洋,討論中國假訊息與選舉操作。據何貴森回憶,沈伯洋當場拿出紙筆繪圖,解釋北京的統戰與資訊影響力網絡。何貴森將兩次採訪經驗作為比較,並對蔣萬安面對中國議題時的反應提出批評。

沈伯洋主打市政議題爭取選民

何貴森分析,沈伯洋投入台北市長選戰後,將重心放在鼠患、淹水、幼兒園管理爭議,以及行道樹與垃圾桶移除等市政問題,較少觸及兩岸議題。他認為,這種策略有機會讓沈伯洋接觸民進黨傳統支持者以外的選民,包括中間選民及部分國民黨支持者。

何貴森也以資深媒體人趙少康主持的網路節目為例,指出沈伯洋兩度受訪的影片累積數百萬次觀看,蔣萬安隨後上同一節目,影片觀看次數則僅有數萬次。他並認為,趙少康對兩人的態度有所不同。

若蔣落敗影響2028大選 恐促北京重評對台策略

專文另提及「台北信賴民主協會」的一項民調,稱沈伯洋取得領先。何貴森並推論,如果蔣萬安在這場選戰中落敗,可能影響他爭取2028年總統大選的政治前景,也可能讓北京失去偏好的對話對象,促使中國重新評估對台策略,衝擊兩岸接觸。他將這場台北市長選戰視為攸關國民黨政治前景的重要競爭,並認為台北有機會選出繼陳水扁之後,第二位民進黨籍市長。

何貴森引述的信民協會民調顯示沈伯洋領先蔣萬安17個百分點。這項調查由畢肯市場研究公司執行電話訪問,調查時間為2026年10月14日至16日,訪問對象為設籍台北市、年滿20歲的民眾,共完成1075份訪問,其中住宅電話753份、行動電話322份,抽樣誤差最大值為正負3個百分點。

何貴森強調,上述分析屬其個人觀察觀點,選戰最終結果仍取決於台北選民的決定。
