taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je was recently detained in connection with the jinghuacheng case, and related cases continue to rage. however, according to a latest poll released on the 16th titled "taiwanese people's latest party support tendencies: ko wen-je and the people's party's new situation," the people's party's support rate only dropped slightly by 1.8 percentage points compared to last month and has not collapsed.

the taiwan public opinion foundation today released a poll of the island's major political parties, with the results as follows: the democratic progressive party at 35.5%, up 1.3 percentage points from last month, the kuomintang at 23.2%, the same as last month; the people's party at 12.0%, down 1.8 percentage points from last month; the new power party at 5.1%, up 3.8 percentage points from last month; in addition, those who support other political parties increased by 1.2 percentage points from last month to 1.8%, and those who do not support a specific party were 21.3%, down 5.2 percentage points from last month.

the foundation pointed out that one percentage point is equivalent to about 195,000 adults, and 12% means more than 2.3 million people continue to support the people's party. at the same time, the democratic progressive party and the kuomintang have not benefited significantly from the people's party's misfortune so far, which surprised many people. this shows that the financial scandals and corruption storms in the past month have hit the people's party hard, but so far "the tree has not fallen, and the monkeys have not dispersed."

judging from the age of supporters, the people's party dominated among voters aged 20 to 44 in its heyday. now, only those aged 20 to 24 are still significantly ahead of the dpp and the kmt; those aged 25 to 34 have been surpassed by the dpp; those aged 35 to 44 are clearly lagging behind the two major parties; and the lag among those aged 45 and above is even more appalling.

the poll counted the island's people's emotional temperature towards ko wen-je. 29% had an emotional temperature of above 51 degrees, 33.7% had no feeling, 32.1% were below 49 degrees, and the emotional temperature of taiwanese people over 20 years old towards ko wen-je was 44.91 degrees, conveying that taiwanese society is currently quite suspicious and unsympathetic towards ko wen-je.

the foundation pointed out that compared to the month before the 2024 "general election", ko wen-je's favorability rating decreased by 11.5%, which means that the favorability of more than 2.2 million people evaporated out of thin air, which is definitely a huge blow and loss.
