since the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) came to office in May 2016, with the party’s approval down to 28 percent this month from 49.3 percent when it took power, a poll has found.

The DPP still has the most support of any political party but the gap between the party and the Kuomintang (KMT) has narrowed to just 4 percent, You Ying-lung (游盈隆), chairman of the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation, said at a press conference Sunday.
