Publishing opinion poll results is banned during the 10 days leading up to an election, according to the Central Election Commission. Exit poll results can’t be published until voting stations close at 4 p.m. on Jan. 14.

Other polls showed a tighter race and that turnout would be the key. Higher turnout is to KMT Ma’s advantage Today’s weather has been good which will help turnout.

More than 200,000 businessmen have returned from China to vote in the close election. The businessmen would be pro-KMT. The KMT is encouraging stronger ties to China which is a boost for business and the economy.
