SBY`S ELECTABILITY DOWN 4 PCT : SURVEY
Jakarta, July 4 (ANTARA) - The electability of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono-Boediono (SBY-Boediono) presidential candidate pair has dropped by 4 percent, according to a survey by the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) conducted in the June 30 - July 2, 2009 period.
Senior researcher of LSI Burhanudin Muhtadi said here on Saturday that the decline in the electability of SBY was among other things caused by the aggressive campaigns conducted by his political rivals, Jusuf Kalla (JK) and Megawati Soekarnoputri.
"The strategic steps taken by the two rival pairs, the JK-WIN and Mega-Pro, is one of the cause of the decline in the electability of SBY, who is the incumbent president" he said.
He said that based on LSI's survey, the SBY-Boediono duo, however, remained leading the results of the polls survey with a turnout of 63.1 percent, Mega-Pro 19.6 percent and JK-WIN 10.6 percent.
Burhanuddin said that SBY's electability was expected to continue declining until the polling day on Wednesday next week if he did not take an anticipatory step.
"But how far it would decline, we are not yet able to predict," he said.
Three presidential candidates are to contest in the upcoming presidential polls on July 8 for the 2009-2014 term of office.
The three presidential and vice presidential pairs are Megawati Soekarnoputri and her running mate Prabowo Subianto (Mega-Pro), Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his pair Boediono (SBY-Boediono), and Jusuf Kalla who runs for president with Wiranto (JK-WIN).
Megawati is former president and leader of the Indonesian Democratic Party - Struggle (PDIP) while her mate Prabowo is the chairman of the Greater Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) party and a former commander of the Army's Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad).
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is incumbent president and chief patron of the Democratic Party (PD) while his running mate Boediono is a former governor of Bank Indonesia, the central bank.
Jusuf Kalla is incumbent vice president and chairman of the Golkar Party while Wiranto, a former commander of the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) and chairman of the People's Conscience Party (Hanura).***1
