JAKARTA - The popularity of presidential candidates (candidates) Prabowo Subianto for the July period was in the highest ranking beating Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo.

US 39th President Jimmy Carter said the Presidential Election was like a tight marathon race. We don't know who the winner will be until the game ends. At every stage, the interim winner can be different.

From Jimmy Carter it also happened in Indonesia. Prabowo Subianto's popularity of presidential candidates (candidates) for the July period was in the highest ranking beating Anies Baswedan and Ganjar Pranowo. This is based on a survey from Trust Indonesia and the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) belonging to Denny JA.

Executive Director of Trust Indonesia, Azhari Ardinal said Prabowo Subianto's electability was only slightly adrift of Anies Baswedan in West Java Province. According to Azhari and based on the survey reference, the difference between Prabowo and Anies was only 2 percent. Meanwhile, Ganjar Pranowo is quite far apart at the level of 12.9 percent.

"The Pasundan community has chosen Prabowo Subianto as their presidential candidate. Pak Prabowo has succeeded in gaining the highest popularity and electability," said Executive Director of Trust Indonesia, Azhari Ardinal to VOI when contacted by telephone, August 10.

Azhari said the Gerindra Party became the most elected political party (Parpol) by the people of West Java. It was recorded that in the survey involving 800 respondents, 18.5 percent of West Java respondents chose the Gerindra Party as their preferred political party.

"From the survey conducted on July 1-10, 2023 in West Java Province, Prabowo's victory was correlated with Gerindra's advantage. This advantage should be further capitalized to maximize Gerindra's vote acquisition," he said.

Two hundred days before the voting day for the Presidential Election, precisely in July 2023, Prabowo Subianto was temporarily superior to his rival Ganjar Pranowo. This is based on research and findings from LSI Denny JA. The Head to Head LSI simulation was carried out by only two figures.

The survey from LSI was conducted on July 3-15, 2023. In addition to a survey with quantitative methods, LSI Denny JA also enriches information and analysis with a qualitative method, such as media analysis, indepth interviu, expert judgment and focus group discussion.

"Why only explore two presidential candidates? This is just a simulation. If in the end only two presidential candidates are advanced, or if three presidential candidates are advanced, in the second round face Prabowo Subianto versus Ganjar Pranowo," said Denny JA in a written statement received by VOI last night.
