The Merdeka Institute for Public Opinion Survey (MIPOS) released the results of the electability survey of political parties after Indonesia's cancellation as the host of the U-20 World Cup. The cancellation of the event turned out to be quite influential on the electability of PDIP which fell by 4 percent. As is known, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo and Bali Governor I Wayan Koster are among those who voiced against the arrival of the Israeli team. The public considers the rejection of the two governors who are PDIP cadres to be the cause of Indonesia's cancellation of hosting the U-20 World Cup. MIPOS researcher Yuyun Andriani said that not only had an impact on the electability of the presidential candidate, Ganjar's rejection of the Israeli team also affected the PDIP electoral. "In addition to the electability of Ganjar Pranowo, the cancellation of the U-20 World Cup event also affects the electability of the PDI-P," Yuyun said in a survey presentation released Wednesday, April 5. Nevertheless, PDIP is still at the top of the political party electability survey. Yuyun explained that if the current election was held, 18.2 percent of respondents admitted that they would vote for the PDI-P. "In second place, the Gerindra Party with 16.9 percent electability further threatens the dominance of PDIP," said Yuyun. Then in third place is the Democrat Party with 10.8 percent, followed by the fourth Golkar Party with 10.5 percent, the fifth NasDem Party with 8.2 percent, the seventh PKB with 7.6 percent, the eighth PKS with 7.4 percent, and the Perindo Party in ninth position with 4.9 percent. "Meanwhile, PAN only 2.3 percent, PPP 1.9 percent, other parties 3.2 percent and do not know or do not have a choice of 8.1 percent," said Yuyun. Yuyun said that PDIP's electability had fallen by 4 percent compared to the MIPOS survey in the previous period. According to him, if negative sentiment continues, there is a possibility that Gerindra will race PDIP. "Thus, the level of support for the PDI-P has fallen by about 4 percent from the previous MIPOS survey. If negative sentiment towards Ganjar and the PDI-P continues, it is not impossible for the Gerindra Party to overtake the electability of the PDI-P in the months to come," he concluded. The MIPOS survey was conducted in the period March 29-3 April 2023 with a total of 1,200 respondents. The survey was conducted in combination with a telesurvey method with media monitoring analysis. The sample was taken randomly by systematic (systathic random sampling) with a margin of error survey at +/- 2.83 percent at a confidence level of 95 percent.

For information, MIPOS was founded by several academics and researchers as well as survey activists in Jakarta and its surroundings. MIPOS is a member of the Indonesian Public Opinion Survey Association (ASOPI), which is an association of 41 survey institutions and hundreds of public opinion researchers under the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPORT).
