JAKARTA - The New Indonesia Research and Consulting survey shows the electability of PDI Perjuangan is still at the highest position. Meanwhile PSI began to crawl up and be in the middle of the board.

"PSI entered the mid-table standings, on the other hand PAN fell to the bottom in the midst of the stagnation of the other parties," said Executive Director of New Indonesia Research and Consulting Andreas Nuryono as quoted by Antara, Saturday, May 1.

PSI electability penetrated 5 percent, to be precise 5.2 percent or an increase from the survey in February 2021 of 4.8 percent.

PAN, whose electability was 1.1 percent, was increasingly abandoned by its splinter party, the Ummat Party with 1.8 percent.

"Amien Rais' seriousness in establishing the Ummat Party has the opportunity to erode the PAN vote, especially after it is officially declared," Andreas explained.

If you take into account the margin of error, the Ummat Party is more likely to pass the 4 percent threshold than PAN.

Meanwhile, he added that the highest electability was still controlled by the PDI Perjuangan which perched at 22.3 percent, down slightly from the February 2021 survey of 23.1 percent.

"When compared with the survey in June last year, PDIP electability fell considerably," he said.

The PDIP position was followed by Gerindra (12.9 percent) and Golkar (8.9 percent). Democrats, which previously experienced a sharp increase, now tend to be stagnant with an electability of 8.0 percent. Likewise with PKS which is also stable (7.6 percent).

Other middle-board political parties are PKB (6.0 percent), NasDem (3.7 percent), and PPP (2.1 percent).

"All political parties continue to carry out guerrillas, for example meetings between PKS and PDIP officials, or previously PPP and Golkar," Andreas added.

At the lower level, there are Perindo (0.5 percent), Hanura (0.3 percent), Gelora (0.2 percent), and Berkarya (0.1 percent). The rest did not receive support, namely PBB, PKPI, Garuda, and Masyumi Reborn, and did not know / did not answer 19.3 percent.

The New Indonesia Research & Consulting survey was conducted on 15-22 April 2021, with telephone calls to 1,200 respondents randomly selected from the previous survey since 2019. Margin of error ± 2.89 percent, 95 percent confidence level.
