Staff writer, with CNAKaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) presidential candidate, yesterday urged his supporters to disrupt opinion polls on January’s presidential election, saying that they do not genuinely reflect public opinion. A Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation poll released on Monday found that Tsai had 55.2 percent support, compared with 26.3 percent for Han and 7.6 percent for Soong. However, Han has said that some people were using “fake public opinion polls” to confuse voters and hurt his supporters’ faith in him. “No surveys for the presidential election of the Republic of China can obtain true opinions now,” Han said. Tsai yesterday said that public opinion polls reflect people’s free will.
