All three major parties surpass 20% in approvalStaff writer, with BloombergThe nation’s top three political parties for the first time have all received approval ratings higher than 20 percent, a poll released yesterday by the Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation showed, while the Taiwan People’s Party’s (TPP) approval rating surpassed that of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). The TPP, established in 2019, has an approval rating of 22.2 percent, compared with 20.4 percent support for the KMT, the poll showed. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) received an approval rating of 24.6 percent. This is the first time that three political parties in Taiwan have received approval ratings of more than 20 percent, the foundation said, calling it a potential “super bombshell” for the election in January. The survey was conducted on Monday and Tuesday, and has a margin of error of about 3 percentage points.
