Taiwan’s Lai Sees Approval at Lowest of Tenure After Setbacks

Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s approval rating has dropped to the lowest level since he took office last year, underscoring the hit he has taken from a range of political setbacks.

Just 28% of respondents in a poll released by the media outlet TVBS on Monday said they were satisfied with Lai’s performance, down from 32% in the previous survey in May.
