Chiang Wan-an maintains the strongest trader consensus in the Taipei mayoral race due to his incumbency, established name recognition, and consistent leads in several late-cycle polls from outlets such as ETtoday and TVBS showing him ahead by 4–9 points. Puma Shen’s support has fluctuated, with earlier surveys indicating temporary leads tied to youth and independent voter shifts, yet recent data reflect a tighter contest as campaigns intensify. Both candidates have escalated visibility through televised policy presentations on transportation and urban renewal, Chiang’s large-scale November 14 rally backed by senior KMT figures, and Shen’s public engagement events. Minor candidates including Kuo Hsi register negligible support in surveys and hold little influence on the outcome. The November 28 vote remains the resolution trigger amid ongoing polling volatility.
