Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te gained ground in the latest monthly My-Formosa poll, while both opposition parties lost support sharply — good news for the ruling DPP, bad for the KMT and TPP.

• Satisfaction with Lai rose to 46.4%, and the share of people unhappy with him fell by 3.5 points.
• Trust in Lai also climbed, to 47%, with distrust falling.
• Premier Cho Jung-tai slipped slightly, and more people are unhappy with him than happy.
• The Legislative Yuan is the big loser: only a quarter of people are satisfied, and over 60% are not.
• Favorability for the opposition KMT dropped 9 points and the TPP dropped 6, while the DPP held steady.

Outlook: If the opposition keeps sliding and public anger at the legislature deepens, Lai's position looks steadier heading into the autumn political season.
