Hou's social support can be said to be deep and solid, with supporters evenly distributed across genders, generations, provincial ethnic groups, education levels, industries and administrative regions, and even across political party lines to some extent. Overall, "He has many supporters and few people who are hostile to him. He is already a little giant in public opinion, showing his profound potential to challenge the 'big position' in 2024."

"His social support mainly comes from young people under 44 years old, highly educated, middle class, and members of the Popular Party, which is quite limited. Interestingly, Ko Wenzhe is the mayor of Taipei, but he has more support in Taipei City than Hou Youyi and Zheng Wencan. However, they are most favored by Taichung citizens and have higher support than Lu Xiuyan. As for Chen Qimai, Lu Xiuyan and Huang Weizhe, You Yinglong believes that because the scale of social support is less than 10%, overall, they still lack considerable Taiwanese support. Notability and appreciation. How to catch up in the future is a serious and urgent issue. If this continues in the future, it is foreseeable that the 2022 local elections are likely to encounter serious challenges from both inside and outside the party.
Regarding the fact that Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai’s core staff believes that the poll is too subjective and is also mixed with post-Korean boycott sentiments and other factors. Among them, the mayor and his municipal government team have worked diligently and have delivered impressive report cards nearly 100 days after taking office. Their governance performance can be publicly judged by the public.
