Ma Ying-jeou: arresting CSB too late costs his rating

Just read this from Liberty Times (馬不自我鞭策 藍色焦慮難解), don't know what to make of it:

"對於執政以來民調支持度下滑現象,馬英九並非不在意,但日前馬英九私下與黨內人士「聊及」造成民調支持度滑落因素時,其中一項理由竟是與前總統陳水扁何時被抓起來有關;黨內人士轉述,馬英九指稱藍軍支持者不滿馬政府上台後遲遲不抓阿扁,是導致其支持度大幅下滑的主因之一;黨內人士說,聽到這樣的答案,他也只能「搖搖頭」。"

My translation:

"Regarding to the spiraling down of Ma Ying-jeou's rating (note by Echo: it's less than 30%), Ma Ying-jeou does care. However, when he chatted with his comrades during a private meeting, surprisingly one of the reasons he mentioned was related to when Chen, Shui-bian (CSB), the former President, was arrested. According to Ma's party member, Ma Ying-jeou believes that pro-blue supporters want Ma government to arrest CSB, and failed to do so earlier is one of the main reasons for his overall rating to go down. Ma's party member say, he can only shake his head."

Does this guy really think that blue supporters will give him low rating because of that? How far is his La La land from the earth ?
