It has not yet been decided who the Democratic Progressive Party will compete for the mayor of Taipei. The Green Camp Think Tank released the latest poll today (17th), targeting the former head of the transportation department Lin Jialong and the head of the health department Chen Shizhong who are regarded as popular candidates. The two conducted a comparative poll, and the results showed that Lin Jialong beat Chen Shizhong with 41.2%, 29.6%. In this regard, Lin Jialong said when he visited Dadaocheng in Taipei this afternoon that the comparison polls did not "exclude blues" and showed the attitude of the whole people. Because of the epidemic, Chen Shizhong's support for Chen Shizhong, who is on the front line of epidemic prevention, will inevitably be affected. He said that the most important thing for the DPP right now is to do a good job in epidemic prevention so that no one will be in trouble when they come out for election.
Lin Jialong said that all polls are for reference, because they are compared with each other and there is no "exclusion", which also reflects the attitude of the whole people. He said that the most important thing is that Chen Shizhong serves as the commander and works very hard on the front line of epidemic prevention. Everyone has some opinions on the development of the epidemic, which will inevitably affect support.
Lin Jialong also said that the poll also has a comparative part. The DPP's support is indeed relatively low. This part is to do a good job in epidemic prevention first, and I believe it will rebound again.
When asked, polls show that if compared with the Kuomintang’s Taipei mayoral candidate Chiang Wanan and Taipei City Vice Mayor Huang Shanshan who may run for mayor, the DPP’s potential candidates are all lagging behind. Lin Jialong said that epidemic prevention and the fact that candidates have not yet been launched have an impact. Especially since the epidemic is still at a plateau, it will inevitably reduce the recognition of the DPP as a party. If the party's support is low, anyone who participates in the election will be affected. This is also We must do a good job in epidemic prevention so that we will not be in trouble in the election.
