JAKARTA - The results of the Polling Institute survey stated that the majority of the public did not believe that President Jokowi interfered or joked in the declaration of the Golkar Party and PAN supported Prabowo Subianto as a presidential candidate. "Of those who know about Golkar's support for Prabowo, 53.6 percent do not believe that Jokowi is doing something strange," said a researcher at the Kennedy Muslim Polling Institute when presenting the results of the survey "Meta Persaingan Capres-Cawapres and Latest Issues" virtually in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, September 10. He said the number was increasing for all respondents, namely 54.6 percent said they did not believe that Jokowi would interfere in Golkar's declaration for Prabowo. Meanwhile, the number of respondents who believed was only 21.1 percent for all respondents. Kennedy explained that the same thing was also found when respondents were asked about PAN's attitude in declaring its support for Prabowo. "The findings of the Polling Institute, only 17.9 percent believe that Jokowi's direction is behind PAN's support for Prabowo. Meanwhile, those who think that Jokowi remains neutral are greater, reaching 60.5 percent," he said. From these results, according to him, it can be seen that public perceptions consider Jokowi to remain neutral without any problems in Golkar and PAN's declaration of support for Prabowo as a candidate for president. The Polling Institute conducted a survey between August 21 and 25, 2023. The survey was conducted by telephone with trained interviewers.

The survey involved 1,201 respondents with a confidence level of 95 percent and a margin of error of around 2.9 percent.
