The Democratic Progressive Party has recently been actively attacking New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi with the "En En Incident". However, polls by the "Taiwan New Deal Association" and "Beautiful Island Electronic News", which are close to the green camp, show that Hou Youyi's political trust is still high and the degree of injury is high. Not as good as imagined. It is very likely that the DPP itself has low trust, which is why such a result has occurred. The performance of the election at the end of the year may be worrying.
According to the Hong Kong China Review Network, the Democratic Progressive Party currently has seven ruling counties and cities, including Taoyuan City, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Keelung City, Hsinchu City, Chiayi County, and Pingtung County. It was originally planned that if she could sustainably secure Taoyuan, Hsinchu City, and Keelung City, and then win Taipei City, Tsai Ing-wen would be able to secure her position as party chairman. However, with the poor performance in epidemic prevention and control, voters have lost confidence in the ruling party. Will the election results at the end of the year be better than those in 2018?
According to recent polls, no matter who Taipei citizens nominate for joining the party, they will be ranked third, with Chinese Kuomintang "legislator" Chiang Wanan and Taipei City Vice Mayor Huang Shanshan both leading the way. Huang Shanshan has a tendency to catch up from behind. If Jiang cannot come up with more eye-catching policies, Huang Shanshan is likely to overtake her. If the Blue Army wants to prevent the DPP from being elected, it will be hard to say who they will abandon and protect. In addition, it is almost certain that the Democratic Progressive Party will nominate epidemic prevention commander Chen Shizhong to run for mayor of Taipei. With the current "epidemic prevention burden", it will not be easy for the Democratic Progressive Party to win Taipei City.
Taoyuan City was transferred from Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian. Therefore, Lin had to resign as Hsinchu mayor in advance. In addition, the current deputy mayor Shen Huihong also resigned to run for Hsinchu mayor, resulting in the resignation of the mayor and deputy mayor at the same time. Gao Hong'an, a "legislator" of the Taiwan People's Party, immediately questioned why the mayor and deputy mayor both resigned. How should this be explained to the citizens? Will the doubts about both the mayor and the deputy mayor's "defeat" grow in the later stages of the election? Will Taoyuan City and Hsinchu City lose the possibility of governing as a result?
In order to stabilize the power in the late stage of re-election, Tsai Ing-wen must step out to recruit candidates for county and mayor. She saw that the DPP was pursuing it with all its strength from the Party Central Committee, the "Executive Yuan", the "Legislative Yuan", the New Taipei City Council, etc. However, Hou Youyi's political trust level remains quite high in these two polls. The pro-green "Taiwan New Deal Association" poll showed that Hou Youyi's political trust level is still 57.4%; the "Beautiful Island Electronic News" poll showed that Hou Youyi's trust level is 57.4%. 64.1. Although the trust score dropped by 7.5 points compared with April, it still ranked first, surpassing Lai Qingde, Chen Jianren, Tsai Ing-wen and others.
The Democratic Progressive Party has devoted all its efforts to fight against the Hou Youyi En'en incident, but Hou's trust level exceeds that of all candidates of the Democratic Progressive Party. This highlights that the Democratic Progressive Party has also lost trust in the hearts of voters. Political parties without trust usually have little effect in attacking their opponents.
In addition, the pro-green Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation recently released a latest poll on the epidemic prevention performance of the mayors of the "six cities". The top three in the poll are as follows. The first place is Hou Youyi, with a satisfaction rate of 35.2%. The second place is Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe, with a satisfaction rate of 27.7%. The third place is Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai, with a satisfaction rate of 24.6%.
Public opinion on the island pointed out that New Taipei City boy Tong Enen died due to delay in getting him to the hospital after being infected with the epidemic. The DPP authorities took the opportunity to "set the pace" and pointed the finger directly at Hou Youyi. The DPP authorities consume the dead to seek political gains, and their behavior is despicable. (Xue Yang/editor)
