LSP Survey: Prabowo's Electability Highest, Beats Ganjar, Anies, and Ridwan Kamil

Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto's electability is ranked highest, surpassing other prospective presidential candidates such as Ganjar Pranowo, Anies Baswedan, and Ridwan Kamil. This assessment is based on the results of a survey by the Lingkaran Suara Publik (LSP).

"This survey confirms that Prabowo's electability remains in the top position with 31.8%. Followed by Ganjar at 20.4%, Anies at 11.7%, and other presidential candidates," said Indra in a statement received in Jakarta on Saturday (15/10) as reported by *Katadata.co.id*.

In measuring electability, three simulations were conducted. Electability questions were formulated without including several figures, such as Sandiaga Uno, Ganjar Pranowo, and Anies Baswedan, in the closed-ended question format. The results still placed Prabowo at the top of electability.

In the simulation that excluded Sandiaga, although not significant, there was a shift in voters. Prabowo's electability increased by 0.5%, Ganjar's by 0.3%, and Anies' by 0.1% compared to the previous electability results.

When Ganjar was excluded from the questions, a voter shift occurred again, likely influenced by Ganjar's voters. Prabowo's electability also increased by 3.9%, while Ridwan Kamil rose to second place, increasing by 1.1%.

The electability rates of the 10 prospective presidential candidates on LSP's radar are as follows:

1. Prabowo Subianto 31.8%;
2. Ganjar Pranowo 20.4%;
3. Anies Rasyid Baswedan 11.7%;
4. Ridwan Kamil 10.5%;
5. Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono 7.2%;
6. Puan Maharani 2.9%;
7. Sandiaga Uno 2.1%;
8. Erick Thohir 2.1%;
9. Khofifah Indar Parawansa 1.9%;
10. Muhaimin Iskandar 1.6%;
