Jakarta — According to a recent survey conducted by Indikator from September 22 to 29, 2024, 73.3% of Indonesians support the formation of the Koalisi Indonesia Maju (KIM) Plus, which is led by president-elect Prabowo Subianto.
The lead researcher, Hendro Prasetyo, revealed that 33.7% of the population is aware of KIM Plus as a political coalition. Among those who are aware, the majority show support with 73.3% expressing their approval.
“The majority of those who are familiar with KIM Plus agree with its establishment,” explained Hendro during the presentation of the National Survey Findings: Public Evaluation of 10 Years of Joko Widodo’s Leadership, which was streamed on YouTube on Friday (October 4).
In terms of demographics, awareness of KIM Plus is highest among men aged 22-40, particularly from the Sunda, Batak, Minang, Betawi, and Bugis ethnic groups, as well as among individuals with middle-to-upper levels of education and income. Awareness is also more prominent in urban areas such as North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, Lampung, Banten, Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Sulawesi, and Maluku-Papua.
“Among those who are aware, the majority are supportive. However, approval rates are lower among the younger age groups, Minang and Malay ethnicities, and residents of Jakarta and Maluku-Papua,” noted Hendro.
In terms of political affiliations, knowledge about KIM Plus is higher among supporters of Gerindra, NasDem, PKS, and PAN. Among those who are aware, only PKS supporters showed mixed opinions about the coalition.
The survey covered 1,200 respondents from various parts of Indonesia. Additionally, a sample was taken from the 11 largest provinces, including North Sumatra, Riau, South Sumatra, Lampung, Banten, Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi, with 300 respondents per region, and 200 respondents from West Sumatra.
The survey used multistage random sampling with a margin of error of around 2.3% and a confidence level of 95%. (RR)
