Performance ratings for the administration of Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu (劾汲) have recently improved, but she said yesterday she was not yet satisfied because there were still a lot of citizens unhappy with her service, and she vowed to work harder.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) earlier yesterday published the results of its latest poll on public satisfaction with the Kaohsiung City Government, headed by Chen, who is a DPP member.
The survey results showed that Chen had the support of 66.2 percent of the poll respondents, while 28.4 percent expressed dissatisfaction with her performance in her second year in office.
In comparison, a similar survey conducted by a city government-contracted public opinion research company in March last year showed public satisfaction with Chen・s performance standing at only 34.9 percent.
After reading the DPP survey, Chen downplayed the results.
：It is nothing to brag about, ： she said, noting that the dissatisfaction degree served as a reminder that she had to work harder.
Chen said she won higher approval than disapproval for her performance in the fields of cultural and tourism development, city environment, living quality and traffic conditions.
In the ratings for industrial development, social welfare, education quality and water resource quality, the degree of satisfaction was close to that of dissatisfaction.
In ratings on social order and employment opportunities, most respondents were dissatisfied with Chu・s performance.
The survey results also showed that 80.8 percent of respondents sensed progress on the city・s development, 79.6 percent expressed confidence in future developments and 84.6 percent said they felt proud to be a citizen of the southern port city.
The survey was conducted between June 16 and June 20 through telephone interviews with voters living in the city.
A total of 1,054 valid samples were collected in the poll, with a margin of error of 3.08 percentage points.
