The latest Formosa Times 3-way poll has DPP Lai and KMT Hou in a virtual tie. I suspect with all 3 tickets locked in there will be a reversion to the mean next week in polling with DPP Lai with a significant edge again as the media coverage focus changes to cover the DPP Lai campaign.
It seems chances of Ko being sidelined is still in place.
If Lai could only got 40 percent, then Hou has a decent shot.
We could not write off this election to the opposition yet.
Ko could not beat KMT's GOTV.
That's why Ko is desperate and could accept a deal that literally rule himself out as the presidential candidate.
But the TPP hawks, like Huang Shanshan (who had her polls inflated to first place in a youth heavy poll only to fell down to an embarrassing third place), only cared for their future and negated the concrete regime change desire.
Those TPP hawks are going to pull down TPP off the cliff regardless of who wins.
