respondents in favor of Tsai’s cross-strait policies while 44.7 percent were
not.
The nearly 50-50 split extended to approval of Tsai’s performance on
national defense and foreign affairs, which saw 47.1 percent approving and
45.4 percent disapproving, and 49.5 percent approving and 46 percent
disapproving, respectively, the results show. [FULL STORY]
