SMRC Calls The Public Level To Airlangga Becomes Capital Dongkrak Electability Of Golkar

JAKARTA - SMRC researcher Saidiman Ahmad, said that the General Chairperson of Golkar Airlangga Hartarto was well received by the public. This was obtained from the results of a survey compiled by his institution some time ago. "The level of public acceptance to Airlangga is quite good, 70 percent of those who like him," Saidiman said in Jakarta, Saturday, January 28. Therefore, according to him, Airlangga has the potential to increase his electability if the Coordinating Minister for the Economy can be known to the public more. In that sense, Airlangga can boost his electability as well as the electability of his party, the Golkar Party.

Based on the SMRC survey, continued Saidiman, until December 2022, Airlangga's introduction is still around 39 percent nationally. In fact, Airlangga still has a lot of potential to do with the party engine. As the second largest party chairman, he said, Airlangga is known to the middle and lower class. Therefore, according to Saidiman, the party engine must move in these realms. Moreover, Golkar received new ammunition in West Java and East Java with the inclusion of Ridwan Kamil and Soekarwo or Pakde Karwo. So the people of that class should be able to be hooked up optimally. Actually Golkar actually attracts more supporters from the middle to lower class. This party is traditionally stronger outside Java and rural areas, "explained Saidiman.

Apart from being liked, based on the results of the latest survey by the Millennial Community Research Institute (LPMM), if the election is held today, Airlangga Hartarto's chance to win is very high.

"The results of a public choice survey represented by 2,078 respondents regarding the people's hope presidential candidate, if the presidential election is held today, Airlangga Hartanto's name will be chosen at 25.8 percent," said LPMM Coordinator Andrey Santoso, Saturday, January 28.

The reason for being at the top is that Airlangga is considered to have a great opportunity for the community to choose for his performance who has worked for the community. "Especially in the economic sector during the COVID-19 pandemic," he concluded.
