Leading contenders for Taipei mayoral race predict tight election (2014/02/25)

The first set of polls taken after Sean Lien announced his candidacy for Taipei mayor shows that the KMT Central Committee member is in a dead heat with Dr. Ko Wen-je. Ko has yet to officially declare his candidacy but is considered a front-runner alongside Lien.

At a spring banquet for Taipei City Hall, Sean Lien proved to be highly popular. Not to be outdone was a potential rival to become the next mayor of Taipei, the independent Ko Wen-je.

Ko was at the airport today preparing to leave for an inspection tour of Kinmen. He obliged when someone stepped forward to request a photo.

Polls by print media outlets put the two contenders close together.In a United Daily News poll, 45 percent of respondents backed Lien while 39 percent supported Ko. The Apple Daily had the pair in a virtual tie, and a China Times poll had Ko ahead of Lien by 3 percentage points.

Sean Lien
Taipei Mayoral Candidate
Most of the time we’re even, and sometimes I’m behind. No matter the case, I always think of it as if I’m trailing. Our team considers ourselves to be a unit of soldiers that has suffered grief and indignation. That way we can urge ourselves to press on.

Ko Wen-je
Head of Trauma, NTUH
I am getting a new start, which provides more flexibility and opportunity for innovation. I think it will remain 50-50 until election day, and the final vote will also be close.

Trailing is former Vice President Annette Lu. She wrote off the polls as quickly, haphazardly done and suggested that supporters don’t pay them heed.

北市長民調

連勝文昨天宣布參選後，平面媒體最新民調，連勝文與柯文哲呈現「五五波」，連勝文說他會用「哀兵姿態」，戰戰兢兢打選戰，柯文哲則預言，選舉最後結果，「會很接近」。

出席台北市議員的春酒晚宴，連勝文展現超高人氣，不過對手柯文哲，也不遑多讓。

一看到前往金門考察的柯文哲，民眾主動要求合照。

根據平面媒體最新民調，聯合報顯示，連勝文以45%支持度，勝過柯文哲的39%，不過蘋果日報民調，兩人只差0.3%，連勝文小勝，中時民調，連勝文反而落後柯文哲3個百分點。

[[台北市長參選人連勝文]]
應該是大部分時間(民調)持平，那麼有時候會落後，不管怎麼樣我都當作我是落後。基本上我們用所謂"哀兵"的姿態，才有辦法一路督促著自己往前走。

[[台大創傷部主任柯文哲]]
因為我是重新開始，比較有彈性，比較有"創新的機會"，我猜會五五波，一直到選前，最後選舉輸贏，應該也會很接近。

得知連勝文和柯文哲的最新民調，同樣有意參選台北市長的呂秀蓮則表示，匆匆忙忙幾個小時做的民調，大家看看就好，不要太當真。
