JAKARTA - The survey results from the Jakarta Survey Institute (LSJ) show that the electability of the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair has accelerated during the 2024 presidential election.

"The electability of the couple if the presidential election is held at this time Prabowo-Gibran is 50.3 percent, Anies-Muhaimin is 23.2 percent, and Ganjar-Mahfud is 23.1 percent. Don't know (undecided) there is 3.4 percent," said senior LSJ researcher Fetra Ardianto in a statement reported by ANTARA, Thursday, December 28.

Based on the public's assessment after two debates held by the KPU took place, Prabowo-Gibran's electability reached 50.3 percent. This is predicted to make the candidate pair number 2 able to complete the presidential election in just one round.

In the survey results, both Prabowo and Gibran were both considered winners of the debate because their performance was considered the best.

Based on the appearance of the presidential candidate in the first debate on Tuesday (12/12), 42.5 percent said Prabowo was the best, followed by Anies Baswedan with 26.4 percent and Ganjar Pranowo with 24.6 percent.

"A total of 6.5 percent of respondents answered they did not know or could not give an assessment of who was the best among the three presidential candidates," he said.

Meanwhile, the vice presidential candidate who was considered to have performed the best at the KPU debate, Friday (22/12), as many as 55.5 percent answered Gibran, 30.4 percent of respondents said Mahfud Md., and 12.1 percent answered Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin. As many as 2.1 percent of respondents could not answer questions and could not give the best value.

"Positively, Prabowo-Gibran's performance in their first debate made the electability of the couple promoted by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) even faster to leave two competitors," said Fetra.

The NGO conducted a survey using an analysis method of monitoring media on December 22 to 27, 2023, of 1,200 respondents aged 17 years and over or 17 years but are already married spread across 38 provinces of Indonesia through a questionnaire-guided telephone interview technique.

Randomly graded sampling with a margin of error of approximately 2.83 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.
