A recent poll revealed that 45.8% of respondents do not support the Democratic Progressive Party's core value of a non-nuclear homeland, showing a lack of societal consensus after 8 years of the current government. While 42.4% do support the policy, the data suggests limited popular support, especially across different age groups and political affiliations. The lack of consensus indicates that the DPP government's non-nuclear homeland policy has not deeply resonated with the public despite being a core value of the party.
