Taiwan’s vice president is leading the first poll since China-friendly opposition parties failed in their last-ditch efforts to form an alliance aimed at winning the presidential election in January.

Lai Ching-te of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party got the support of 34% of respondents in the survey conducted Nov. 24-26 by broadcaster TVBS that was released on Monday.
