Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je’s (柯文哲) disapproval rating has surpassed his approval rating for the first time, according to a survey released by the Taipei Research, Development and Evaluation Commission.

The results showed that 42.4 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with Ko’s performance, while 43.8 percent said otherwise.

Ko’s approval rating plummeted 27 percentage points from the results of a survey the commission conducted in December last year.

Asked how satisfied they were with projects carried out by the Taipei City Government, 53.3 percent of respondents said they disapproved of the city’s work on public infrastructure, the highest disapproval rating recorded for any category.     [FULL  STORY]
