Just under a month before the presidential election in Taiwan, the ruling party’s (DPP) lead in the polls has shrunk. According to a survey published on Tuesday by the online news portal My Formosa, 35 percent of respondents plan to vote for incumbent Vice President William Lai of the Democratic Progressive Party, as reported by Bloomberg. This puts him just ahead of Hou Yu-ih of the Kuomintang (KMT) with 31.7 percent. Ko Wen-je, the Taiwan People’s Party candidate, ranked third with 18.2 percent.
