Why it matters
The poll indicates that Su Chiao-hui's gains were driven by persuading undecided voters and winning support in districts traditionally leaning toward Lee Shu-chuan. This reflects active competition between political parties in local elections.
The Taiwan People's Party and Chinese Nationalist Party are actively engaging in local elections, including candidate support and mayoral race planning.
