The Indonesian Political Indicator survey shows that the electability of the Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok)-Djarot Syaiful Hidayat pair continues to rise. In the early February 2017 survey, Ahok-Djarot's electability reached 39 percent. The Anies Baswedan-Sandiaga Uno pair also experienced an increase, now chosen by 35.4 percent of respondents.
Conversely, the electability of the Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono-Sylviana Murni pair shows a downward trend. As the election day approaches, the electability of the number one pair is only 19.4 percent. According to Burhanuddin Muhtadi, Executive Director of Indikator Politik, many of Agus-Sylvi's votes are now shifting to Anies-Sandi. Burhanuddin also stated that two issues, namely the Al Maidah case and the Jakarta Gubernatorial Candidate debate, influenced voters' choices.
The Indikator Politik survey was conducted from February 2-8, 2017, interviewing 621 Jakarta residents face-to-face. Respondents were spread across 230 different sub-districts (kelurahan) and 621 different community units (RT) throughout Jakarta. The survey used a stratified systematic random sampling method with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.
