Strategic voting could tie Hou-Kong with Lai-Hsiao: poll
According to a recent poll, the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) "Lai-Hsiao ticket" has a support rate of 32.7%, placing them ahead in the presidential race. The Kuomintang’s (KMT) "Hou-Kong ticket" closely trails behind with 29% support. If strategic voting occurs, the Taiwan People’s Party’s (TPP) "Ko-Ying ticket" could lose 7.3% of their current support, potentially resulting in a tie between Hou-Kong and Lai-Xiao at 32.7%. Compared to the previous poll in November, the Lai-Xiao ticket has gained 4.4% support, while the Hou-Kong duo has seen a modest increase of 0.8%. Conversely, support for the Ko-Ying pair has decreased by 4.6%. The survey, conducted through landline and mobile phone interviews on December 13 and 14, involved 1,088 Taiwanese citizens aged 20 and above.2023/12/16 14:29
