42%31%? (article doesn't say, can't find survey at MAC site)?



If you read that rather poorly formed table correctly, then you'd notice a 44.9% support rate, today, saying independence is better for Taiwan's future! That's 10% higher than last year's figure.

Intrestingly, if some people had their hand forced today, they would apparently switch their support away from independence -- interesting.

We can compare those results to 2006, which I also blogged on ...
