Recent polling shows competitive races in both cities ahead of the November 28 vote, with Taipei’s KMT incumbent Chiang Wan-an holding narrow edges or ties against DPP challenger Puma Shen in several surveys, while New Taipei’s DPP candidate Su Chiao-hui maintains slim leads or near-parity with KMT’s Lee Shu-chuan amid 15-19% undecided voters. These tight margins, combined with ongoing district-level campaigning on infrastructure, MRT extensions, and balanced development, have kept all major party combinations viable in trader assessments. The elevated “Other” share reflects uncertainty over final turnout and swing-voter shifts in the remaining two weeks, while low odds on a DPP Taipei/KMT New Taipei split align with Shen’s stronger polling trajectory relative to historical KMT advantages in the capital.
