Taipei, May 20 (CNA) Just over half of respondents to a survey have given President Tsai
Ing-wen (蔡英文) a passing grade for her performance since taking office on May 20, 2016, according to the poll’s results released Sunday.
On a scale of 0 to 100 points using 60 as a passing grade, Tsai received a passing grade from 50.1 percent of respondents, with 24.6 percent giving her the minimum passing score of 60, according to the survey conducted by Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation.
“On the surface of it, it seemed like a pretty good grade because President Tsai’s performance was graded as passing by more than half of the respondents,” said You Ying-lung (游盈隆), chairman of the polling institute.
But the fact that about half of the respondents who gave Tsai a passing grade scored her performance a 60 is “a warning sign,” You said. [FULL STORY]
