SPIN Survey: Prabowo Is Still The Champion, Ganjar And Anies Haven't Been Able To Catch Up

JAKARTA - The survey agency from the Indonesian Survey & Polling (SPIN) released the results of a survey and carried out a mapping of the potential for the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

"Prabowo Subianto won again with an electability of 21.9 percent, followed by Anies Baswedan 16.1 percent, Ganjar Pranowo 15.6 percent, AHY 8.7 percent", said Director of SPIN, Igor Dirgantara, when released survey results online, Wednesday, September 8th.

In addition to the level of electability, the figure of the General Chairperson of the Gerindra Party is also more favored by the people of Indonesia. This is in terms of the popularity of the names of figures who may run in the 2024 presidential election.

"Prabowo Subianto still has the highest level of preference compared to other candidates. There is 76.6 percent of respondents who like it", said Igor.

Igor thinks that it is not surprising that Prabowo Subianto's electability is in the top position with acquisition of 21.9 percent. This is because there are events that are known to the public regarding their public activities which are widespread and very easily accessible.

"The public sees Prabowo's consistent actions and attitudes towards the issues he raised during the campaign before becoming defense minister now", he explained.

Meanwhile, in the survey conducted by SPIN, the majority of the public also saw the performance of President Joko Widodo's government as also good, as well as in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Igor, this is a very good form of achievement in the context of performance. Because without much need to do imagery such as installing billboards, the government's performance is still seen by the community as very good.

"Most of the respondents, an aggregate of 46.6 percent answered positively the government's performance", he said.

The survey was conducted by random sampling to 1,670 respondents aged over 17 years. Data collection was carried out on August 7 - August 21, 2021, in 34 provinces in Indonesia with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percent, 95% confidence interval.
