A recent survey by the local China Times showed that public approval ratings for the Democratic Progressive Party(DPP) are running at a high 42 percent. The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) was second in the level of public approval at 33 percent. Its ally, the People First Party (PFP) unexpectedly scored last, after the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU).
The results of the poll echoed one conducted by Formosa Survey Research two months ago. That poll also showed that the post-election protests launched by the pan-blue alliance against the legitimacy of President Chen Shui-bian's (???) re-election led to the erosion of their public support. What exactly happened within the pan-blue camp in the past couple of months? What elements have dragged the KMT and the PFP into the political quicksand? And most importantly, what implications will the decline of pan-blue influence have for Taiwan's political landscape?
