You Yinglong said that the phenomenon of Tsai Ing-wen’s public support being largely wiped out in a short period of time involves a massive loss of the quantity and intensity of public support. Obviously this is related to three key short-term factors, including the major outbreak of the epidemic so far in mid-May, the two Taiwan-wide blackouts on May 13 and May 17, and the Democratic Progressive Party mafia party's public office turmoil.

You Yinglong believes that it is obvious that Tsai Ing-wen’s reputation on the first anniversary of her second term is not as good as before. Since the end of the general election in January 2020, the overall trend of Tsai Ing-wen's popularity is currently at a 17-month low of 45.7%, compared with 71.2% at the beginning of the second term in May 2020, a difference of 25.5 percentage points, which is equivalent to one year. The support of nearly 5 million people evaporated.

You Yinglong pointed out that the current disapproval of Tsai Ing-wen's handling of government affairs is the highest point in 17 months. Compared with a year ago, it is 25.7 percentage points higher. Obviously, in the past year, especially the past month, the dissatisfaction of the Taiwanese people has been and the rapid accumulation of resentment. ( China Taiwan Network Wu Yi)
