Fourth and fifth were the NPP and the People First Party (PFP), with approval ratings of 5.6 percent and 2.2 percent respectively, it showed. Compared with a similar poll last month, party affiliation has not changed much, with the two major parties having approximately equal strength, the foundation said. However, support for the TPP rose 2.8 percentage points, while the NPP’s fell 1.1 percentage points, the poll showed. “The rapid decrease in support for the NPP is obvious, while whether the TPP takes advantage of this opportunity and rises further requires continued observation,” the foundation said. A breakdown of respondents’ political affiliations showed that 97 percent of DPP supporters backed Tsai, while 82.1 percent of KMT supporters backed Han, it showed.
