DPP Chairwoman Tsai more popular than President Ma?
Taiwan News is first out of the gate with this news:

Dissatisfied with Tsai's performance - 34%
Dissatisfied with Ma's performance - 31%
By Region:

- Central and Eastern Taiwan - Ma more popular (no figures given)
- North - Tsai and Ma running equal (no figures given)
- Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan - 40% Satisfied with Tsai
(The opposition leader rated ahead of Ma with independent voters, and received even a positive rating from 29 percent of Kuomintang supporters.)
Positive rating for KMT - 37%
Positive rating for DPP - 22%

The poll successfully interviewed 717 respondents by phone on November 10 and had a margin of error of 3.7 percent, the China Times said.

These mixed results from a blue-leaning media outlet seem generally positive for Tsai though tempered with caution since it appears that the DPP as a party has not raised its game in the public's eye as much as its leader. Now if only the DPP could be as professional as Tsai and show some internal discipline ... (and pigs may fly?)
