TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has seen a surge in negative perceptions in recent months, primarily due to disputes over imported eggs, as per data from the Taiwan Public Opinion Research Center (TPOC).
The center analyzed online opinions from January to October using the QuickseeK opinion database. The results showed that the DPP generally elicited more negative than positive responses.
Public discontent with the DPP stems from four major issues: imported egg disputes, Taiwan Strait tensions, fraud and cybersecurity concerns, and energy shortages.
Other contributing factors to public dissatisfaction encompass unsafe pedestrian traffic, residential justice issues, private school subsidies, unclear American pork labeling, and flu vaccination disputes.
With just over 60 days left until the 2024 presidential election, DPP presidential candidate Lai Ching-te still maintains his lead, albeit with a slight reduction.
As the election nears, all political parties must intensify their efforts to secure public support.
