Jakarta residents' approval rating of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) was the lowest compared to the other two gubernatorial candidates. According to a January 2017 survey by the Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) Denny JA, Ahok's approval rating was only 58 percent. This is despite Ahok having the highest popularity rating at 99.10 percent.
The majority of anti-Ahok sentiment (47.2 percent) stemmed from the Al Maidah case. Furthermore, Ahok was disliked due to his perceived rudeness, lack of empathy towards the common people, and disrespect for the people's right to express themselves.
The LSI Denny JA survey was conducted from January 5-11, 2017, using a random face-to-face interview method with 880 respondents across five administrative areas in Jakarta. The survey's margin of error was +/- 3.4 percent. The research claimed to use internal funding and was not affiliated with any candidate.
