The polls — conducted by five agencies — should be conducted half via landline interviews and half via cellphone, the TPP said. The polls should compare the favorability of the KMT and TPP candidates against top candidates from other parties, with a decision made by averaging the results, it said. Vice President William Lai (賴清德), the DPP’s presidential candidate, is prepared, but said the TPP and the KMT are fomenting panic.
