Public confidence in Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te has plunged to a historic low, with a new TVBS News poll revealing only 28% of residents approve of his governance. Over half (55%) expressed dissatisfaction, signaling growing discontent across the region. 🗳️
Youth Disillusionment Sparks Drop
Young adults aged 30-39 showed the sharpest decline, with approval plummeting from 36% to 20%—a trend analysts link to economic pressures and housing affordability challenges. 💼🏠
Policy Direction Under Fire
41% of respondents believe Lai is steering Taiwan’s policies 'incorrectly,' while just 36% trust his leadership. The data comes amid debates over cross-strait relations and domestic reforms. 🌉
As Taipei 101’s lights continue to glitter, the poll results highlight a disconnect between leadership priorities and public expectations. Could this spark a course correction? 🔍
