Does the number of people who dislike him skyrocket by 2.3 million?
The pro green organization "Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation" released its latest poll analysis on Facebook today, targeting "if we use 0 to 100 degrees to express our likes and dislikes towards political figures, 0 degrees represents the coldest and strongest dislikes; 100 degrees represents the hottest and strongest likes; 50 degrees represents no feelings, neither likes nor dislikes." When asked about the public's feelings towards Lai Ching te, the results showed that 48.1% of them have an emotional temperature of 51 degrees or above, 25.9% have no feelings, and 23% have a feeling of 49 degrees or below towards him.
The survey further pointed out that the latest polls show that among Taiwanese over the age of 20, 48% have a good feeling for Lai Qingde, 23 percent have a bad feeling for him, and 26 percent have no feeling for him.

According to the survey analysis, compared with the results of the December 2022 survey, Lai Qingde's favorability has increased from 48.4% to 48.1%, with almost no change; However, from the perspective of disgust, the number of people who dislike Lai Qingde has increased by about 12 percentage points. Six months ago, it was 11.1%, and now it is 23%. If one percentage point is 193000, the number of people who dislike him has increased by about 2.3 million in six months.
As for the indifferent public, the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation believes that the number of people who are indifferent to Lai Ching te has decreased by 8.3 percentage points, from 34.2% six months ago to 25.9% now. Due to the unchanged favorability of voters towards Lai Ching te over the past six months, a result can be drawn, which is that some people who previously had no feelings towards Lai have become averse.
The poll concluded that judging from the overall average temperature of voters towards Lai Qingde, the average temperature dropped from 59.71 degrees to 56.48 degrees in half a year, a total decrease of 3.23 degrees. In other words, after half a year's hard work, voters' emotional temperature towards Lai Qingde did not rise but fell.
Guo Zhengliang: The Democratic Progressive Party doesn't know what to do either
On June 21st, Guo Zhengliang stated on the Zhongtian political commentary program "Big News and Big Gossip" that Ko Wen je has recently approached the green camp in his speech, and he is going to eat votes from Lai Ching te. In the future, Ko Wen je will definitely fight against the Democratic Progressive Party, saying that he is more honest, diligent, and loves his hometown. In this way, he will win votes from light green, but as for dark green votes, he cannot win them; And on the Blue Camp side, Ke Wenzhe has already rubbed against it almost enough, and he will start turning.
Guo Zhengliang pointed out that the Democratic Progressive Party will also face challenges in the future, and there is now a voice in the green camp that they want to come back and fight against Ko Wen je. However, Guo Zhengliang believes that it is much more difficult to defeat Kobi and Hou Youyi because Ko Wen je is a shark and too flexible. Therefore, defeating Ko may not necessarily score. However, he found that defeating Ko was too low, and some of the blue camp's votes went to Ko's side. Therefore, the Democratic Progressive Party does not know what to do now.

According to Guo Zhengliang's observation, the Democratic Progressive Party has now started using political advice checks to help itself gain points, because the vote for young people under the age of 29 in the Democratic Progressive Party has dropped to 17% and they don't know what to do. Therefore, the Democratic Progressive Party has no choice but to use its ruling advantage to pull it up.
According to reports, in order to win the votes of young people, Lai Ching te announced a subsidy of at least NT $25000 per year for private university students just a few days ago. Chen Jianren, the head of the Democratic Progressive Party's administrative agency, proposed three supporting measures to "improve the education system" by expanding subsidies for economically disadvantaged students, exempting all high school and vocational school tuition fees, and extending student loans. Opposition parties have criticized this as a policy waste and addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause. In response, Kuomintang representatives demanded that the DPP authorities clarify where the money comes from and not write blank checks before the election.
