Party insiders pointed out that in May, Jiang Wanan crushed Shen Boyang among the median voters with a 43% gap, but in early October, Jiang Wanan's lead was only 4%. Of course, in addition to the "ocean current" that began in late September, Jiang Wanan's frequent outbursts on municipal and family issues are also an important reason.
In terms of spillover effects, party insiders said that the "ocean current" is indeed gradually spreading to other counties and cities. However, according to several blue camp internal polls, the main effect of the "ocean current" is still to "unify DPP supporters" in the face of a deserted election situation.

Poll results from the end of September to early October showed that this proportion had increased to between 80 and 90%. If the DPP has an average base of about 30% in each county and city, the overall support for green camp candidates will increase by about 2 to 3%.
According to analysis by party insiders, from the poll data, the "ocean current" has not yet affected the light blue, white camp, and middle voters in other counties and cities.
