The latest poll in Taiwan shows Lai Ching-te's approval rating for his handling of government affairs exceeding his disapproval rating — good news for the DPP, and bad news for the opposition KMT-TPP camp.

• Lai Ching-te's overall approval rating tops 50%, with disapproval sitting just above 40%, producing a "golden cross."
• Favourability toward the green camp has risen while the KMT and TPP have declined; Tsai Ing-wen leads all political figures with a favourability rating of 60%.
• Within the KMT camp, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an leads, while Legislative Yuan Speaker Han Kuo-yu's favourability is slightly higher than that of Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen.
• On party support, the DPP holds a substantial lead over the KMT, while the TPP is left in single digits.
• The deadlock between the governing and opposition camps remains unresolved: slightly more people support a no-confidence vote by the Legislative Yuan against the Executive Yuan than believe the Executive Yuan should countersign the bills.

Outlook: With the 2026 local elections drawing closer, the question of who can unify and lead the KMT camp will become the next focus.
