Populi Center Survey On Support For Presidential Candidates: First Reward, Fifth Lady
JAKARTA - The results of the Populi Center survey put the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo in the first position in getting public support to become a presidential candidate (candidate) in the 2024 presidential election.
Meanwhile, her fellow PDIP, DPR RI Chair Puan Maharani, is included in the top five figures who have the potential to be supported as presidential candidates.
Populi Center researcher Nurul Fatin Afifah explained that in conducting this survey respondents were asked for their responses to the five figures. As a result, Ganjar Pranowo received the highest public support, namely 58.3 percent.
In second place, there is the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan with 57.3 percent. The third position is Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto with 46.6 percent.
In fourth place, there is SOE Minister Erick Thohir 27.6 percent. And fifth place is filled by DPR Speaker Puan Maharani with 17.5 percent. "Although Ganjar is the figure who gets the strongest support, this is only a potential support. So this is not electability, because this can still develop in the future," said Nurul in the survey presentation, Monday, December 20.
Nurul explained that the Populi Center only presented five figures because the names of Ganjar Pranowo, Anies Baswedan, and Prabowo Subianto were the names of the most popular figures. Meanwhile, Erick Tohir, he said, is a name that has recently started to appear.
"Meanwhile, Puan Maharani is the name that is estimated for 2024 as the party elite that will be promoted," he said.

While the sampling technique was carried out using a simple random sampling method from the sampling frame owned by the Populi Center at the provincial level.
