Regarding the "Dragon Queen Battle" in Tainan that has reached 5%, media figure Hsieh Han-pin stated on the Taiwanese media program "News Straight Talk" on the 8th that this round in Tainan may have exceeded many people's expectations, and people might think that Chen Ting-fei is very strong. In the past, her popularity polls were far behind Hsieh Lung-chieh, so how come she is suddenly so close? Of course, supporters of the green camp will believe that the popularity poll is fake and inaccurate, but he must say that he tends to believe it.

Hsieh Han-pin said that he doesn't know if it's really that close, but he believes that Hsieh Lung-chieh is catching up, because the green camp created deep rifts during the primary election, and many supporters of Lin Chun-hsien from the green camp may not have returned to support the Democratic Progressive Party candidate. Additionally, Lai Ching-te's "administration" will directly affect the support for the Democratic Progressive Party candidate. Therefore, if Lai Ching-te's "administration" is not good, Chen Ting-fei's support may drop.

Additionally, local commentator Shen Cheng-nan analyzed that this popularity poll shows that Hsieh Lung-chieh has won the favor of more than half of the voters. It is not impossible for Hsieh Lung-chieh to win the 2026 election, but it will be a very tough campaign.

According to the information, the 2026 mayoral election in Tainan will be between Chen Ting-fei of the Democratic Progressive Party and Hsieh Lung-chieh of the Kuomintang. The latest popularity poll shows that Hsieh Lung-chieh is only 5 percentage points behind Chen Ting-fei, who has strong local strength. Local media released the latest popularity poll on the 6th, showing that Chen Ting-fei, who defeated Lai Ching-te's loyalist Lin Chun-hsien, has a support rate of 45.96%, while Hsieh Lung-chieh has a support rate of 40.57%, with a difference of 5.39 percentage points. The Tainan mayoral race has entered a highly competitive and tense state.
